Wedding day. Where the heck did that kitten come from?
I've wondered that too, Nancy! Maybe they got it for Heather, so she could have a pet. It would have been a nice gesture to get that for her... when changes happen in people's lives, such as a marriage or a new child, children can often feel left out or forgotten, and somehow having a pet gives them something to love and take care of.

Haven't seen this one before. Looks like he's carrying her over the threshold! So very sweet and romantic.

What I meant was, weren’t they standing outside the Registry office when those pics were taken? And she’s holding a kitten? Peter Brown is seen next to Linda.

I never saw that “carrying over the threshold” pic before either! Thanks for posting!

You can also hear dogs barking inside the house.

I don't know why, but I was thinking the photos with kitten were taken at the door of Paul's house in London, because I thought I've seen Martha in some of the photos too. Will have to double check in case I'm mistaken.
Saw a caption on a pinterest photo that said the kitten was a gift to Linda from Paul on their wedding day. Not sure where they got the info for that.

Okay, now I see that the pic/video was taken at their doorstep, so the kitten was theirs! Lol! I had not seen that video before! Thanks!

I have so many DVds that I didn't think I'd be able to find the correct clip but I was glad that I found it on youtube.

Thanks for posting this, Oobu! Couldn't believe the crowds at 00:31... it's amazing that even with some policemen, Paul and Linda (and child Heather!) could barely move to their car. It must have been very overwhelming, and Paul seems very protective of Linda as they made their way. He was used to these kind of crowds, but probably knew she hadnt been exposed to this before.

Found a photo with Martha in the picture

You can see Martha in the “carrying over the threshold” pic too!

Have always thought the story of Stella's birth was very special, sounds like there was a possibility of losing both Linda and/or the baby during the birth... I think she was born in an emergency caesarian... Paul no doubt felt it was a miracle that saved them both!
This is an earlier family photo, before Stella was born, not sure if it's been posted before.

^ Never saw that photo before!

Love those photos of Paul and Linda... just lovely Thanks for posting them, Nancy!
Not sure when this was taken, maybe within the first few months of their marriage? Thought it was a very nice photo of them!

^ Yes, I believe you are correct. Linda has a loose dress on as she was 4-5 months pregnant then.
