Keep your hair on, J-P!
Grinning from ear to ear

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!

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

Whose shoes?

“Don't even think about it.”

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!”
