Fetch the guitar…

“Trraaaayseee” still ringing in my ears! How do you follow that?

As you can see Tracey was exceptionally elegant in her dress..

[Update]: direct from Hawaii, the happy couple are “chuffed to bits” with the pics. Yay!!

Now, it would be normal to think the worst when i came back to discover she had received: a bunch of flowers; a bottle of something fruity from Spain; a card; and a tube of Cadbury’s Mini-Eggs!

This however, was a wonderful gesture of thanks from Caroline & Rob after delivering their album at the weekend (which i’ll be blogging some pics of when i get the chance):

“Thank you very much for our wedding album… we absolutely love it and it will be visiting a lot of people soon”. I hasten to add there was a full bunch of flowers and more than 3 mini-eggs – i only ate some of those items – they’re reduced in the pic for artistic impression darling.

They have also penned a fantastic testimonial. We’ve received a number of these and we treasure them all; pressies deserve special mention though! It’s ok to eat mini-eggs before bed right? Carbohydrates are good for training… definitely…

The emotion started early: Paula’s sister gave birth the day prior to the wedding but still managed to fulfill her bridesmaid’s duties!

On to the party, which began with a pumpkin piñata:

A rather more sedate 1st dance…

…until the chorus kicked in

We were also able to put on a Crazybooth

Final word to the bride and groom:

The first dance was spot on: emotional and funny in equal measure – ice, ice baby -…

… mind you, i think Caz might have a rival!
