June 3rd 2006

The wedding, Castell Coch

Keep your hair on, J-P!

Grinning from ear to ear

Sophie and Emma

Castell Coch

J-P and Richard

Sophie admires the ceremony room ...

... with its beautifully decorated walls...

... and ceiling

... and statues of the Three Fates (?!)

Good view from the windows, too.

The castle again

Guests start to arrive

Here comes the bride!

... and again, and again,

and again.

At the end of the drawbridge

J-P seems Wilde about the bubbles

The reception, Llechwen Hall

“Right, that's her comfortable; now, you lot...”

Emma

My place-setting

Cutting the cake (1)

Cutting the cake (“What, again?”)

Cutting the cake (“Best grinning mask!”)

Cutting the cake (“Look, like this...”)

Cutting the cake (“YOUR knife? What do you mean YOUR knife?”)

Looking at the big sky

Drinking in the sunshine

Just watching the world go by

Venus rising from the, er, chair

Richard, a waiter on top of the world

“Kate, where did you hide them?”

Giggling at shoe-related shenanigans

Whose shoes?

Kate laughing in the sunshine

“Don't even think about it.”

The bride and groom kiss...

... properly!

Glug.

Colin and Elaine

Balloons

Everybody looks silly when they're dancing...

... unless you're drunk

Traditional decorations

(You can just about see one of the culprits...)

Owen appears Not Amused (it's deceptive)

“Stop giggling! You'll break the mind-swap experiment!”

“It's Colin's brain in here now!”

Colin, balloons

Colin, balloons (2)

“Colin, don't look now, but...”

Henry tries on the balloons

“Now look what you've started!”
