As mentioned in my last post, Neil and I were fortunate enough to attended ‘Wedding of the Year 2007′ at the weekend, as Gary and Marie-Claire\u00a0became lawfully responsible for each other.\u00a0Admittedly Marie-Claire did look the most nervous at this prospect, but having seen Gary’s outlandish antics (including diving\u00a0on the lawn in front of the Greek Parliament during our field trip to Athens), this was more than understandable. It was all smiles however once the knot had been tied, and\u00a0with Inga’s beautiful singing during the service,\u00a0it was easy to see which guests had had the foresight to wear waterproof mascara (I was not one of them).<\/p>\n

After the ceremony it was on to the reception in a beautiful converted barn, decorated to the rafters\u00a0with fairy lights and candles galore, all of\u00a0which helped to\u00a0make the place\u00a0feel a little\u00a0bit\u00a0magic. Neil was also\u00a0particularly pleased to have found a favourite foodstuff presented as a favour on our tables, although\u00a0was a little dismayed that the little pot of Essex jam\u00a0was labelled ’15th September 2007’. Having however realised this was\u00a0as a momento of the occasion and not the sell by date of the product, he carefully\u00a0stowed his and my pot away (\u00a0am sure I’ll be lucky to see that again….).<\/p>\n

Higlights of the day for me had to be the excited anticipation of seeing Marie-Claire\u00a0appearing at the doors of the Church, the Best Man’s Land Rover Defender dressed in ribbon, the maginificent plethora of outfits worn by attendees including an impressive fleet of kilts and fascinators, and the realisation that – guess what – I was ‘the girl’ who wore the same dress as someone else. Fortunate for me, I knew that someone else, and Steph and I made a point to compliment each other on our outfits throughout the rest of the\u00a0day (the girl did look stunning).<\/p>\n

So I hereby present above the newly married Mr and Mrs Tovey – pictured above of course,\u00a0although sadly being a guest\u00a0without crowd negotiating skills, I was only able to capture a side profile of the\u00a0Wedding Party.<\/p>\n

But what lovely noses they all\u00a0have.\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
