The wedding

Well, I'm now married. Last Friday was one of the most magical days of my life. Theresa and I had planned the day quite carefully, and it went even better then either of us could have hoped I think. Looking back on it there's nothing that I wish we'd done, nothing that I wish we hadn't. Our guests were great, the venue was perfect and it all ended before people got too tired. While this may sounds crass, it was the happiest day of my life and I would like everyone to know it!! And looking into the eyes of my (now) wife and telling her I will love her, hold her and keep her for the rest of my life was one of the most powerful moments ever for me.

There were 33 of us at the wedding, a mixture of friends and family on both sides. We go married in Galstonbury Town Hall, in the South-West of England, and then moved to a restaurant in the countryside that Theresa and I both love very much. We stayed in the restaurant all afternoon and had the place pretty much to ourselves. The afternoon was spent eating and drinking, and chilling quite a bit too. Which is how Theresa and I wanted the day and how we pretty much are as well.



As if it was planned the sun broke through the clouds just as we finished the ceremony. And then came out once again when we took a break from the lunch in the afternoon.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came, and I'm sorry that we couldn't have all of our friends with us on the day. Everyone who was there and everyone who was thinking of us made it so special.

A few points about the day:

- Theresa looked gorgeous in her dress, and pulled off being 7 months pregnant as well!
- We did individual menu on each place with each persons name on it. It really helped the restaurant and the guests who didn't know each other.
- We mixed all of the guests up so they weren't sitting in couples. Many new friends were made and we noticed people come out of their shells as a result.
- No single cake, but individual cup cakes with each guests initials on them. We then went round at the end of the afternoon giving each person their cake in a samll box. It gave us a chance to formally say 'bye'.
- Proper restaurant rather than brought in catering. So much better quality and quantity!

Thank you again to everyone. Now just got to get used to wearing a ring on my finger!!
