I got married!

On 12 August 2016, Christopher and I got married and became Mr & Mr Murphy-Williams! 





We got married at City Hall in Cardiff, which is 18 years younger than our house in Splott!


It was a tiny, but perfect wedding. We only had immediate family - not just because we wanted to keep the costs down, but because we only wanted the closest people to share our day. Getting married is quite an intimate thing, to us anyway - declaring our love and commitment to each other felt really special, so we had our specialest family around us!




Our lovely photographer, Emily Wells (http://www.emilywells.co.uk/) absolutely captured the day. These are just a few of the photographs. 







My Mam and Dad made the wooden hearts as name places, and they doubled as wedding favours too! I sang a song with my niece - a song I wrote for Chris two months after we met - all about proposing to someone... turned out pretty accurate :)

The reception at Cameo Wellfield Road was perfect. Chris and I eat there all the time anyway, the food is always superb, so when we were looking for a reception venue we popped in to see if they could accommodate us. I can't say enough good things about Cameo. The preparation was amazing, the service faultless, and the food? It was delicious! Everything we'd hoped for and more. Sally and her team were friendly, efficient and so enthusiastic! Honestly, I think they were as excited and Chris and I were. If you're thinking of somewhere for a small, perfect reception, then you can't get better than Cameo Wellfield Road (http://cameoclub.co.uk/wellfield-welcome/)

Or if you want a delicious breakfast, or lunch, or Sunday dinner! They also do great cocktails, and the wine is lovely too!

Last day

I won't pretend I'm not super happy to be going home, I can't wait to see Patrick, my friends, my house, my job and all that again, but I have to say goodbye to James and T again - and this is a big one. It will be years before I see them again.
I've had a wicked time, and seen some amazing places, and been to a fantastic wedding. I have loved it - but it's time to go home now, all inspired, creative and flowy of juices!

New Zealand is raining today, like it's sad we're going.

The Speech

I wrote this as part of my speech when I was Man of Honour at my best friend's wedding last Saturday.

A Lucky Day

Today is a lucky day.
Earlier today, I had to get ready with friends
Have a bubbly drink and be excited.
Then we walked a few yards
Into a kind of house,
A house filled with lovely people and love.
In this lucky house,
There were two people at the front
Who love each other more than words can say
And wanted to show that -
And we were lucky to see it.
