Tom and Julia
Latham celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary recently with Julia writing
to the ‘Yeoh Lim Chew’ family chat group to share their joyous day
“I have popped in to ‘Yeoh Lim Chew
chat group’ to share this photo of Tom and I celebrating our Second
Anniversary at the weekend.
If you look at my right wrist very
carefully I am wearing a beautiful gold and jade bracelet which Saw Kin gave me
when we visited in the summer this year, a Yeoh heirloom which belonged to her
grandmother Lim Siew Tong.
Additionally, the lace on my dress is
from my Russian great grandmother's wedding dress, so both sides of the family
were represented.
Thought that this might be of
interest to the YLC group”……Julia Latham

| A Ceilidh held at a medieval barn |
Ian Latham,
Tom’s brother added that two years ago in September 2020 when they married it
was at the height of the Covid19 pandemic. The country was on lockdown and they
were only allowed to invite six guests so they just invited their parents.
They promised a bigger gathering when it was possible hence this second anniversary.
The venue
for their second anniversary was a medieval barn in a village called
Winterbourne which is just outside Bristol where they live. Their celebration
was called a Ceilidh a social event with Scottish folk music, singing and traditional
dancing.
Tom studied
medicine in Edinburgh, Scotland and lived there for about a decade and became
accustomed to the Scottish tradition of Ceilidh dancing. Special occasions like
end of term were frequently celebrated with a ceilidh. Tom said he likes the
organised form of dancing because it removes ego adding it's part of life in
Scotland
This was the
first big Latham family event since the pandemic, the last one being my
father's 80th birthday in 2018.
The following day the couple had a family dim sum lunch at a Cantonese restaurant.
