Wedding card with Beautiful Motifs

Wedding card with Beautiful Motifs. I made this card for my niece’s wedding in Brisbane back in October. They’d asked us to save the date for early October, 2025 which we did, and were looking forward to a family re-union.

Why we missed wedding

Unfortunately, we were in the process of re-locating to West Yorkshire which entailed selling our house and looking for one in West Yorkshire. This took longer than expected and the actual completion date didn’t happen until merely 4 days after the wedding so we had to decline. Unfortunately, things got delayed by our buyers’ solicitors a fortnight after original date of exchange and we were still waiting for news as to when we could exchange and set a date for completion (day you hand over the keys and vacate the property) at time of writing. Thankfully, we did eventually move in November and are happily settling into our new home.

At time of writing, it’s September, but I’m working ahead because I know we’ll be topsy turvy for awhile before/after move and waiting to be re-connected to internet.
