Jun wedding 2010 a

Tue 01 Jun 2010
This morning Soph and Julie (her mum) packed up the now finished wedding dress and other useful things and headed off to Bristol.

This afternoon Jen went out to Heathrow to meet up with Danielle, Naomi's (Muirghein's) daughter come all the way from Australia to enjoy some touristing. Since she'll be moving out of teen-dom during her stay with us (yes the big two-oh very soon!) Jen thought it best to bring her home.
So Danielle crashed over night in our busy hotel, erm, home.  :-)

At stupid o'clock this morning Steve dropped Danielle at the local tube station for her to head off on a fortnight-long tour of Europe via coach.

This afternoon all the rest of us packed ourselves up and headed off toward Bristol, with a few touristy stops along the way... We went to Bath, Cheddar, Wells and Glastonbury, finishing with arriving at our hotel room on the north side of Bristol.

So, the big day has finally arrived!
The day was unbelieveably sunny and pleasant, and everything looked very glamorous.
So here are the best photos by Jen (plus this pic of our side of the family, by the wedding photographer).

 

Above: Sophie's (now) husband, Paul, is amazingly just as romantic as she is.... his heart-felt vows set off many ladies to quietly weeping with the romance of it all.

  Above: check out the two little girls staring at the bride!

Below: the bride and groom had just arrived at the High Tea reception.

Our good friends, Jenny and Terry are legends! They'd been slaving away for the previous couple of days one the kitchen prep (as had Jenni B).  Here's a little fun shot of Jenny and Terry having a giggle.

We Aunties and Steve all pitched in to help with clearing tables / cleaning glasses etc. We stay back to ensure Terry had everything finished ASAP (many hands make light work). Left at 12:30am, about 3 hours earlier than if he'd been on his own we reckon. Brought Terry back to our hotel room to crash out. He worked away solidly all day with excellent good graces. Jenny (Edith) also did, however she had other commitments for the next day, and had to leave about 10pm ish. Well done to them both!
