We had a wonderful weekend away in Belgium. Jo & Dirk, our friends we made in Glasgow, finally decided to tie the knot this month in Belgium after 10 years together. Joanne is Scottish and Dirk is Flemish and the wedding was a cool mix of both. We left a little early, took Friday off and visited Antwerp which turns out to be a very cool & hip city. We stayed here and loved it and had some fabulous meals, but the trip was too short, we’ll go back. The wedding was held at a beautiful old priory. As usual in France & Belgium the real wedding is at the city hall, the church wedding is a beautiful option, and in Jo & Dirks case, even more beautiful than normal. Sadly I’ve gone through my photos and they’re all out of focus, save a few.

The reception was lovely, the company hilarious, and the Scottish Ceilidh dancing exhausting! When it was all over with and Jo & Dirk were beaming with happiness – we jumped back on a train and made our way to Brussels along with almost everyone else in Belgium. It was ‘car free’ day in Brussels on Sunday and everyone was there, and I mean everyone. We ate mussels, fries, drank beer, and window shopped for chocolate.

A perfect ending to a wonderful weekend away.
