Back to the bar and garden whilst the tables were cleared for the dancing.
Party. This was the bit the kids had been looking forward to most of all. I was the only adult up there dancing with the kids, doing the 'okey-kokey' and other similar things. I have no shame when it comes to playing with the kids. I can be dignified when they're grown up, babies don't last forever.
Then our 3yr-old daughter attached herself to a 7yr-old boy, my wife worked for his Dad a few years ago. Our girl would not leave him alone she dragged him all round the garden, the bar and the dance floor. I got some great photos and little video snippets of them dancing.
Our twins were having great fun too. The boy started to wind down about 9ish and we put him in his buggy to sleep. I took our eldest daughter to get changed into her other dress and she carried on until about 10:15 when she asked me to dance with her "Like Belle and the Beast do, Daddy" as soon as I picked her up she put her head on my shoulder and I knew she was ready to go to sleep. Our youngest girl, had nodded off on the Bride's sister's lap.
I took the our eldest girl up to the hotel room and my wife got some help to bring the twins and buggies etc. back up to the room before going down to say her goodbyes.
It was a truly lovely day and we all enjoyed it. What a shame the kids wouldn't stay asleep. Groan.
My wife and I were dog-tired by the morning. We got everyone downstairs for breakfast, said our goodbyes and then got on the road by 10:30am. The kids all went to sleep by 5:30pm and I was tucked up at 8pm. Tired but happy.
