The Wedding Day August 6, 2005
Posted by Martin in : travel , trackbackPerfect hotel breakfast, perfect weather, an incredible castle wedding and with two wonderfully loving people getting married I’m amazed that Conde Naste didn’t fly in to photograph it.
I was delighted that Mum, Lisa & Tik had all selected matching dresses for the day. I felt so proud to see how Tik had become part of the family in such a short time and the ladies all looked beautiful. The colour theme for the wedding was pink so it was rebellious of them all to be wearing blue instead.
It was a long long day despite the wedding ceremony itself lasting shy of 15 minutes. It was very much a text-book wedding in that the registrar had her pre-prepared script read articulately from her text-book.
“Do you miscellaneous male, take her miscellaneous female … blah blah blah.. Time’s up! I’ve got the next wedding to prepare for, sign here, pay here, yes we do need a cheque guarantee card. Bye”
It was fun listening to the post-marital speeches. Make me want to give a best mans speech too. It might be some time though as I don’t seem to be mixing with many best grooms at the moment.
The afternoon was spent around the castle grounds, posing for photos, nibbling nibbleables and losing my sunglasses. We were treated to an impressive firework display that night, lots of dancing and great food. This is a day our family shall remember for a very long time, aside from its perfect organization, Stuart and Jo are a sickeningly perfect couple and the convening of my dad’s side of the family is a very rare occurance.
After a few drinks, a day on our feet and a condiment of jetlag, Tik and I collapsed into bed with not an inkling of romantic passion, despite the accomodating environment … ZZZZ

Excuse the fact that I’ve borrowed the photographers free online photo to show you (the one with the big watermark in).
