Dear Sarah,
This is a belated 'thank you so much'.
I am genuinely surprised at the number of people who have gone out of their way, both on the day and since, to say how much they appreciated the ceremony. I have to admit that I haven't subjected any of them to close questioning, but I am going to guess that maybe half a dozen factors were involved, one of which I am certain was that the ceremony was about the right length, well put together and well led: so a heartfelt thank you to you for your part in it.
Finally, thank you for the lovely book: this is a great idea and something I know which we will always treasure.
