London Part 4: The Wedding!

Okay, I have had the wedding pictures uploaded to this post for two days now but I have been fighting the videos. I couldn't even get one to upload after I let it process all day! Anyways, I had hundreds of photos to go through so it took awhile to condense them down and yes this is a small portion of them. BTW we lost the other camera that we had with us so mine was the only one we had at the wedding, that's why there were so many. I should also mention that I did not know at the time (I found out after we got home) that my camera will pick and choose which photos it will save when the battery is dying. I got home and realized I had more good pics that I couldn't find (ie one of me in front of tower bridge and tons of the black swans) frustrating.

Okay here are the wedding pics finally!

Tuesday Dec. 21st we got up and headed down to Plymouth for the wedding. Me and Mar had been up past three waiting for everyone to get back and then talking a bit, needless to say none of us had more than four hours of sleep that day. George and Harriet got married at Boringdon Hall. It was such a cute old castle, I loved it.

The boys in their tuxes, James is always making faces!

Waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Here comes the bride (her brother Sam walked her down the aisle). Harriet looked gorgeous! Her dress was so pretty!

George looks so happy

The newly married couple

Marianne cried the WHOLE time and had the rest of us crying too!

Harriet and her siblings (Becky, Bethen, and Sam)

Harriet's cute shoes!

Look closely you can see all the snow that caused the big mess...oh and grass!
Really James?

The luncheon

My luncheon menu was this:

Starter: Home smoked chicken breast resting on dressed leaves and asparagus spears, with a honey and mustard dressing
Main: Roast supreme of chicken coated with thyme and citrus juice, served with bacon roll, bread sauce and roast gravy
Dessert: Traditional profiteroles filled with Chantilly cream and coated in a warm dark chocolate sauce
Yep, my dinner was as good as it sounded!

Mar at the table with all the guys- she was pretty happy!

cutting the cake

fireworks on the cake...awesome! (I couldn't get my video to load, bummer)

lighting chinese lanterns, you make a wish and send them into the sky. This was awesome even though it was so cold.

Video of the lanterns, I hope it works.

Due to the weather there were people that couldn't make it, everything was smaller and more intimate than I expected. It was a very nice elegant wedding. The English have some different traditions than we do. They had these crackers that you pull and get prizes (pic in the next post), they also put on the paper crowns, the lighting of the lanterns, and the fireworks on the cake. It was so neat to see all the things they do and it was so much fun!

Congratulations you guys! It was an awesome wedding! We are so happy for you guys!

I will post more Boringdon Hall pics in the next post, probably two more posts left (I really have a ton of pictures).
