Maryam and Steve, the wedding

Maryam and Steve got married a few days after Christmas. Glasgow was still dusted with snow and the light that was cast across the whitened city was magical. Inside City Halls and West Brewery warmth radiated from every corner, whether it came from the candles, the guests, the mulled wine or Maryam and Steve's irrepressible and completely infectious sense of humour. When the night-time came guests danced, they whirled and twirled to ceilidh music, their hands created beautiful shapes in the air as the sounds of Iranian disco blared across the room and finally they really let go to some good and proper 'cheesy wedding music' (Steve's words, not mine) at which point we departed into the night, hearts filled with love and celebration and a hundred thousand wishes of happiness for Maryam and Steve.

When we started Lillian and Leonard we had no money, none at all. We did however have a library card so off we went and brought home as many books as we could find about building your own website. For weeks I didn't see Nye as he sat in front of the computer scowling at HTML For Idiots and swearing at the the screen. Months later we had a website.


It was a little slow, a little cranky, a little blurry around the edges and virtually impossible to find with search engines but we loved it and we were so very proud of it. Well we have finally outgrown that website and while letting go of it (and paying for the new one) was painful we are really excited with the new www.lillianandleonard.com


It's faster, it's sleeker, it's shinier and most importantly it's so much easier to update. Previously adding a new gallery to our site would take us, oh pretty much a month. Now we can do it in minutes. If that's not worth parting with a hundred million pounds (or thereabout) then nothing is.

We've also been tinkering with our poor neglected blog, sorting our our sidebar links and adding some of the great venues, florists, bands and other wedding pros we've worked with over the last year as well as a more comprehensive list of the best wedding inspiration that we have found on the internet.
