The day began at the Montcoffer guest house
at Bardon mill.

Rebecca hopped out for some fresh air
and discovered some rather cute ducks in the garden.

Rebecca likes ducks.

the pictures to the left depict the great duck hunt.

although the ducks were estremely happy to pose for the camera,
when approached - they waddled off - as ducks tend to do.

Aha, Rebecca has some rather neat lingerie,

and . . . .

she requires that it features in her pictures !

and . . . .

she is very happy to have the pictures on the website.

this girl has absolutely no hang ups.

but does have a heck of a good figure. . .

As the morning progresses,
time tends to fly,

mum, assisted by the wedding co-ordinator,
help Rebecca into her rather spectacular dress.

 

Rebecca doesn't have to pose,
she looks good anyway. .

 

dad appears in the doorway chewing a bottle of water . .

oh well,

whatever turns you on . .

We aren't simply dealing with a pretty bride here . .

her bridesmaids are stunners too !

 

spot the extremely proud and happy father to the left.

Here we have Sam and his best man.

 

I've never seen a member of Britains nuclear deterrent before,

I expected him to glow in the dark or something
(being on a nuclear sub),

all I found was an extremely polite and very likeable chap.

 

The naval theme is carried through
in a junior satin sailor suit.

I dunno which branch of the navy issues those . . .

 

you could always wander into a Navy recruiting office
and ask if you can join the branch of the navy that wears white satin sailor suits . . .

if you do that . .
you may actually find that you bounce out of the doorway on your head.

 

still smiling - Dad shows Rebecca the door.

(the car door), a vintage one.

Still smiling
(and smiling even more if that's possible),
Rebeccas father arrives with his lovely daughter at Langley castle.

The weather man has also arranged some sunshine for us.

The girls await

girls in bridesmaids dresses .

girls in hats . .

 

yes, I know that's a bloke in the middle, not a girl. . . .

well, at Langley, the tendency is to hold the wedding service in a ground floor room which looks suitably mediaeval
(well, it is a mediaeval castle).

moments from the ceremony are illustrated
on the album page to the left,
along with the signing of the register,
which the registrar suggests that we 'pose'.

 

so we do. . .

Glad to be wed,

we swoop out into sunshine,

(this lasts for about 15 minutes, then we get a torrential downpour).

we knew that rain was on the way,

but I'm pretty quick with photos anyway,
so it wasn't too much of a worry.

but when the sky went black . . . .

confetti was thrown then the sky turned the rather fetching shade of black as discussed earlier.

the rain didn't make a sort of pitter patter.

 

IT WENT SPLOOSH !

confetti became a rather interesting sort of papier mache,

the guests fled !

(bottom right image - bride flees downpour,
but hey - it didn't spoil anything !)l

ye olde englishe happy wave, sky continuing to ominously darken.

food beckons and guests file upstairs
(there are lots of stairs at Langley,

I havent actually counted them,
but my legs have.

a cake, placed high in a window opening is carefully cut by Rebecca and Sam.

A proper naval salute is provided by one of the wedding guests ,
to the general approval of his friend to the left.

I overheard Rebeccas father chatting just before this litttle lot was ignited . . .

 

some people invest in gold,

some people invest in tin,

 

I've decided to invest in FIREWORKS

the guests were pleased about that. .
the display was brilliant !

 

A disco boogies into the night.

after a short while - the DJ orders everyone outside to see some fireworks.

HOWEVER.

the man with the fireworks says it isn't dark enough.

 

so he won't light
the blue touchpaper.

 

drat says everyone.

but it doesn't spoil the party,
they just started dancing outside instead.

 

the family pictures taken at a rapid pace with a rapidly darkening sky above.

I don't spend lots of time on group pictures,
each to their own, some photographers do,
I wouldn't argue with them, I simply don't - that's all.

brilliant bridesmaids.

three totally happy girls,

hey - its a party,

no it's a wedding,

well - why shouldn't it be a party !

Sam takes Rebecca to the castle gates,

there's a picture to be taken.
