Two grans accompanied their grand daughter at her wedding:
Gillian Holloway, 80, and 90-year-old Mary Kennedy travelled to London for the wedding in October.
It was the first time they'd got out their homes to do anything "properly social" since last March.
"If they're going to come, we wanted to make it as special as we could for them," Megan said.
The bridesmaids didn't wear matching dresses, but they did have bouquets and walked down the aisle together.

Awww that's lovely :)

Such a lovely idea :-). Keeping it in the family :-*

A mother who gave birth just 10 days after discovering she was pregnant thought she had put on weight in lockdown.
Samantha Hicks, from Portishead, North Somerset, attributed her baby Julia's kicking to sickness having been ill.
Her pregnancy was missed even when she was in Southmead Hospital in Bristol with Covid-19 in November .
"It never occurred to me I was pregnant as I had taken two previous tests which both came back negative," she said.

now that's a headline that I gasped at ;D

UK snow: Polar bears enjoy Yorkshire's wintry weather
Heavy snow in Yorkshire has not made life easy for everyone.
But there are four South Yorkshire residents who don't mind plunging temperatures and the problems they can bring.
Polar bears Nobby, Hamish, Luka and Sisu have been making the most of the chilly conditions at their home near Doncaster.
The four live at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is temporarily closed due to lockdown restrictions.

A family pet in Turkey has certainly been one man's best friend, after waiting six days for her owner to emerge from hospital.
Boncuk, who belongs to Cemal Senturk, sat outside the doors of the facility in Trabzon, as he received treatment for a brain embolism.
On his release, Mr Senturk was met with an enthusiastic canine greeting.
This is so cheerful :-*. A bit like Greyfriars Bobby but with a happier ending 8)

Aww I saw this,what a faithful old friend :)

She was biting the blokes toes when he was wheeled out of Hospital ;D

About 30 neighbours helped to dig an ambulance out of the snow when it became stuck on their street.
Photos were shared on social media of Ninian Street residents in Treherbert, Rhondda Cynon Taf, using snow shovels, sledges and quad bikes on Saturday to help paramedics get to a care home.
Kelly Evans, 38, who lives on the street, said it was typical of her "lovely neighbours" to help out.

I think people are mostly good,although you wouldn't think so just now :(
-
In streets I think people pull together. It's cheaper than the gym, digging out vehicles !
-
:-*. This cub is so cute that you can't help but "panda" to her needs!
A video of six-month-old Fu Bao clinging on to her zookeeper's leg has gone viral with more than four million views on YouTube.
Worth looking at but be prepared for the AAHHH moments ;D

Surfing duck: Pet becomes local celebrity at Australian beach
When Australian woman Kate Miller decided to get a pet duck last year, she had no idea he'd become a local beach celebrity too.
Affectionately named Duck, he follows her into the water each day and delights onlookers by bodysurfing.
Is he a shark decoy ?

BBC Cambridgeshire
A woman has been amusing her neighbours and passing motorists by decorating her trees with faces and costumes.
Mary Maclean's two large trees were being trimmed last year in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, when she realised leaving the tops uncut made it look as if they had hair.
For Halloween they wore witches' hats, and Santa hats for Christmas.
At the weekend, the trees were given heart-shaped eyes and wore face masks decorated with hearts.

Keepers at Longleat Safari Park are celebrating the success of their pancake tortoise breeding programme, with five newborns.
Syrup, Banana, Peanut, Piccolo and Prairie have been born to Poppadom and Jua in the past year. Newborns are about as big as a 50p coin.
Pancake tortoises, named for their flat shells, are critically-endangered, and native to Kenya and Tanzania.

Hungry wild rabbits searching for food during heavy snow have befriended several pet horses at their stables in Aberdeenshire.
Owner Pauline Young described the scenes in Glenbuchat, near Strathdon, in recent weeks as "amazing".
As well as helping themselves to hay, the rabbits even get licked by their new friends.
Mrs Young said: "It's so strange. It's like the horses have a sense the rabbits are starving so are sharing.
The rabbits began stealing food from tubs in the yard, before eventually coming in to the stables.
-
They better be careful,horses have been known to bite and even eat small creatures,birds etc
My daughters grandma was from strathdon :)
-
Strange horses :o ........... they aren't meat eaters as a rule :-\
Rabbits can kick. Hard. They also jump which would probably make a horse think twice !
-
I think it's more curiosity but I've seen a horse pick up a pigeon then continue to chew it :-\ not an isolated case either :'(
-
But horses can't spit the feathers out ::)
-
:rofl:
-
Did you say SPIT oh oh yes you did thought you said SH*T out feathers and I thought.....yes they can ;D ;D

Extra roughage?

Thai navy sailors have rescued four ginger cats that were abandoned on a burning ship in the Andaman Sea.
The human crew had already been evacuated, but the navy soon discovered a few forgotten members when they were sent to check the site for oil spills.
A sailor swam out to the capsized boat, before putting the cats on his back to take them to safety.
Reportedly, the felines suffered no injuries and are healthy.
They are now being cared for by their rescuers at their command post, said Reuters news agency.

A few days ago a pickup truck was stolen in a town near me, there was a 4-month-old Great Pyranees pup in the back seat! There was a flood of dog missing notices on social media within minutes. After many shares, and after 36 hours the dog was returned to the owners, anonymously, but the truck is still missing. Nobody is asking about the truck, all are relieved the dog was returned safely.
-
That's such a relief! Hopefully Pup was OK? bet owners will find it hard to sleep for a while :-\.
It's about making pets too hot to handle via social media.
-
Pup was thankfully unharmed, left tied to the porch railing by somebody. I couldn't imagine what the owners went through and still are going through.
-
It makes me feel ill. There's a lot of it across the UK!
