I know some of you are already married and others may not have any interest in marriage, but all you single ladies out there looking for a husband, would you marry a farmer? Well, be honest now, would you?

Do you like country life, perhaps you like animals and nature or would you like to put your wellies to good use? If the answer is yes, then the farmer is for you!

Lorna Sixsmith has provided us all with a witty account of the Irish Farmer as the ideal husband in her book Would You Marry a Farmer? When Lorna posted this question on her blog, she got a phenomenal response and since then she has gone on to write the book. I really enjoyed this book and so much of it is true. The illustrations are cute too. I have already married a farmer so I know first hand what it is like and I wouldn't change it for the world! Thanks Lorna for the great read. The book is available online from Lorna's website Irish Farmerette.

I have never put a photograph of myself on my blog before, but here goes! I have been blogging long enough now. I am married almost a year, so thought with Valentines coming up soon and my 1st Wedding Anniversary I'd share my photo with you.

Hello all,

Well at last our wedding took place on Saturday 25th February. There was no fuss or stress and all went well. I returned home to my parents house the night before the wedding but didn't get there until after 10:30 as we had a house full of visitors which I left my other half to entertain. The electricity also went off the evening before the wedding and didn't return until early the morning of the wedding.

The weather was lovely, we really were blessed. The service was beautiful, we had a number of hymns including; Be still for the Presence of the Lord, How Great thou Art and I, the Lord of Sea and Sky and the soloist sang Amazing Grace. I entered to Canon in D and we left to Trumpet Voluntary.
The sun shone when he left the church and also when we were taking the photographs at the reception. As we entered the reception we had Bruno Mars Marry You as our entrance song. I decided to make a speech of the top of my head and it all went well. It isn't very traditional but I wanted to say a few words. We retired to bed just after 5:30am as one of our friends played the guitar in the residence bar and about 20 of us had a great sing song. So I am taking this week off work and relaxing with my new husband :)
