    Hi all,

    I just wanted to share some good news on here.

    Mum has been doing so well in her new care home and they brought her to my wedding last Saturday. They were BRILLIANT, got mum all dressed up and she had a great day (with no hitches) walking me down the aisle.

    We got some great photos and mum was aware enough to know what was going on and had a big smile on her face throughout.

    Just goes to show that there are some excellent care homes out there. Mum is really happy, and so am I. Could not ask for more.

    Take care,

    Hi Lisa,

    It is so nice to read good news and hear examples of how a good care home can support people with dementia and their families.

    Hope you can share the pictures with us soon.

    Take care,

    Hi Lisa,

    I'm so glad your mum made the wedding and all went well.

    You and your dress are fabulous. I'm sorry to say I'm really nosy and looked at the whole album. :eek: Your dress looks even better full length ... and the cake looks pretty good too... :)

    Hi Julie,

    I take it you're not a Facebook addict! Not sure if it's because I'm on Facebook, but I just clicked on the album.

    Lisa, I hope you don't mind me posting the above. There are no embarrassing photos of you upside down in a corner!

    Congratulations on your wedding.
    You looked beautiful and your mum looked as if she really was enjoying herself.
    You must be proud of her.
