The drunk ramblings of friends...

"Anna - you make the most beautiful bride and Sam, you are a lucky fellon"

"I actually factually love the both of you [...] Portland Street Soulies Rule!"

"Sunflowers, marriage and wonderful news,

A dress magnifique with mustard shoes,

Cupcakes and crochet, camping delight,

To see you together it's clear that it's right,

Wishing you love and a future that's joint,

Seeing your union somes up the 'point'"

"Hey Dudes! What a lovely day!  Thanks so much for the Widecombe badge, I've waited along time for one of those!"

"You bloody Gems! What a lovely vibe, entirely what it should be about!"

"To Auntie Anna, thank you for the tractor ride"

"Best wishes and lovely horses"

Wedding Day

After a year of planning, our wedding day finally arrived, the weather was good, things were casual, friends and family mingled......

..... the kids had their own dressing up yurt:

..... confetti bags were distributed:

..... we had a Portland Street reunion:

...Squeezes from family:

.... musical interludes from friends:

.... and some overindulgence:



What can I say?  Accept thank you to our family and friends for helping out and making the day as casual and fun as we wanted it to be, thank you to West Town Farm for an amazing location to celebrate, lovely smiley staff, gorgeous food and patience, thank you to our friends who came to the ceremony and lunchtime do, for mingling with strangers and making new friends, for showing our family exactly why we love you, thank you to my lovely bridesmaids for dancing like loons, and twirling for England, thank you to my mum for her tireless scouting of enamelware jugs, cake stands and for creating amazing floral displays, thank you to Colette for bringing to life my perfect wedding dress, thank you to Mary for knitting and crocheting some amazing flowers which just went down a storm, thank you to Lynne for fixing banners, making napkin rings and bringing a smile to the stressful preparations and thank you to my new husband for keeping me sane and for not judging my bourbon biscuit habit too harshly.
