My mother named her son after her father-in-law and step-father. She did say, if she had a second son, she would name him after her father (who died when she was 4 so she had very few memories of him) but she never had that second son.

A touching tribute indeed, though not surprising knowing that Edo referred to Christopher as the only father he had ever known, named his first child after him, and followed in his footsteps with the Cricket Builds Hope charity.
"You once said on my 18th birthday that being my stepfather was the greatest honour and privilege of your life. I echo this, being your stepson is the greatest honour of my life and I would never be standing here today without you." It is interesting to read this as Beatrice referred to "the great honour to become a stepmother" in her piece for the Standard; clearly their conversations about their blended family drew inspiration from Edo's own experience in a blended family.

What a moving, lovely statement about his late step father. I didn’t realize Edo named his son after his step father. How sweet.

Indeed and I think we can see that the word step father/mother holds no negative connotations for their family.
Lovely sentiments.

I hope the Daily Fail will feature an article on this. It would be interesting to read the comments from people who are always accusing Edo of being a callow, thoughtless gigolo for daring to marry Princess Beatrice.

I hope not. It's summer. I assume the temperatures are pleasant, so there would be no need for tights.

Edo shared a picture and message about the first Wedding Anniversary with Princess Beatrice:
"I can’t believe it has been 1 year. Every second of every day since has been so full of joy, happiness, laughter and love. You are the kindest, loveliest and most beautiful person in the world. Thank you my darling for every second."

 How sweet and lovely is that? 
Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi is either head over heels in love with his wife, or he has missed his calling as an actor.

That looks like a great holiday location.
I can't believe it's been a year either. One of my favourite royal weddings even though we didn't actually see much. I loved the idea of just going for it (as many people have decided to do this year) and having a tiny wedding with just the people that matter the very most.
And of course those amazing something borroweds that made it a royal wedding.  Gorgeous flowers as well.

Edo is finally showing signs of age how odd. Sweet thoughts!
