My younger daughter is getting married tomorrow (Friday 16th Sep 2011). She is marrying the only lad she has ever been out with, they have been together since Valantines day 2003! So I get to make a speech :)
It's a 1960's theamed wedding and the trip between the wedding and the reception is on a vintage London Red double decker bus!
Well, they have certainly been together long enough to formalise the commitment...
A double decker? How do those cope with crosswinds, I wonder..? ???
Are you bringing your camera?
Congrats!
That's terrific! Congratulations to the happy couple! Cheers to all!
congrats :)

I will have my camera, but there is a professional as well, so we should have some good memories.

I don't see any gifts yet.
Every young couple should have at least one of these.

That looks like it was a beautiful wedding, Tank. Very classy. I love those buses, and that post ceremony drinks room looks amazing. Thanks for sharing you're family's beautiful day with us.

Wow, what a beautiful dress your daughter designed! And she looks absolutely stunningly beautiful in it, as well. You all look like you're having a wonderful day. These photos really show how happy everyone is. So nice to see these, so thanks for sharing them with us, Chris!
It also looks like it was a very breezy day. I hope no one blew away!
Thanks. ;D
We were lucky with the lack of rain, but it was quite windy. The cloud cover gave a nice even light. I can't wait to see the professional photographs!
Well done.
You can grow a beard, get yourself a straw hat and go live on a tropical island now.
Awesome pictures! It's always neat to get a glimpse into the life of someone who would have otherwise remained anonymously cloaked behind a screen name. Congrats again.
Looks like it was a fun wedding.
I love her dress.
I agree with everybody else -- love the dress, love the busses, very classy drinks room!

Glad you like them. Well I didn't take all the pictures (obviously) a mate of mine took some, and we have yet to see the professional photos.

The dress was very 60's.

Well the whole ceramony was held in Temple Newsam House, which is 20 minutes walk from where we live and the kids grew up playing in the grounds so it was ideal.
It looked like such a lovely time :)

It definitly was, and one to be remembered :)
how lovely and how wonderful!!! just curious, who performed the marriage ceremony?

One of the local registrars. You can either go to the registry office ( a horrid office block in the middle of Leeds) or for a small fee they will come out and perform the ceramony. It's a simple ceramony, request for know impediments, exchange of vows (standard or written by the couple), exchange of rings (if required) and it's all done. My daughter 'fluffed her lines' quite a bit as she was so nervous. Awwww!
Cool... and did they write their own vows?

Yes, not a great difference from the traditional stuff but with 'respect' rather than 'obey' and that sort of thing. My other daughter soaked a hanky during the ceremony, thank goodness for waterproof make up!

Nice thought: That's a very good idea!
Evil thought: You hated your husband-to-be that much! ;)
