and had their wedding reception there . ..
but since they own their own rather nice restaurant in Wooler, called the Milan Restaurant . .
they hosted a large party for their evening guests in Wooler,
there was pink champagne, there were roulette tables . .
hey . .wait on a moment, roulette tables ? what’s that all about ?
read on . .
(I’m still working on the pictures, so this is a little preview)
and also . . I almost forgot . . .
Ellie likes the Sea,
she likes the sea, so much, that it was important to make sure that some part of the wedding day
was spent near to the sea . . therefore . . we have pictures of . . . Ellie and Phillip, near to the sea . . .
guess who this is ?
yep . . you guessed correctly – it’s Phillip, otherwise known as ‘the groom’
and this little feller is known to all as J.C.
don’t ask why
why ?
because I don’t know the answer, that’s why . .
anyway – he was the ringbearer.
(that sounds like something from Lord of the Rings, doesn’t it !)
change subject . . I’m digressing . .
and next . . . I took a picture ‘over’ the rings being exchanged – focussing on J.C.
like so . .
ah . but you want to see the venue . . Doxford Hal,
and you want to see the sea
and you want to see Milan Restaurant . .
hold on a minute, be patient,will you !
I’m going as fast as I can here . ..
this is Doxford Hall (or the picture above is anyway)
didn’t they get tremendous weather !
(we booked it . . we bribed the weather man on the BBC
so that he would say ‘wall to wall sunshine today’
. . it cost a pretty penny to do that, I can tell you . . )
what – you’d like to see another picture . .
oh well – here goes . .
ok . who is complaining that I’d promised the sea and haven’t yet shown you the sea ?
below – we have a picture of . . .
well . actually . . . I became rather fascinated by the brilliant blue sky . . .
so it’s more a picture of a sky than anything else.
( I know, I know, she’s the girl who likes the sea . . gimme a chance will you . .
I did make lots of pictures showing ‘the sea’ but this is the sky . .(and a bit of sea)
but I thought that, being England, and finding a brilliant sky like that . .
well . . it doesn’t happen every day does it ?
hmm . .
more pictures . . in no particular order,
did I mention Roulette ?
well – this isn’t Roulette. so there.
although there was a roulette table at Milan Restaurant . .
just not in this picture – that’s all
this picture is of a . . . .
I dunno what it is.
it’s some kind of giant gambling wheel thing.
how should I know what it is ?.
mutter mutter grumble 
and for the hard of hearing – I’ve given subtitles to this picture – it’s Ellie throwing her bouquet at the end of the evening.
yes . . . I know – she’s throwing it at a group of girls, not at the end of the evening . . .
lots more pictures to come . . I’ve been working on them all week . . still not finished . .
ooh . . and it’s Friday already . .
