The Wedding of Elizabeth and John, and The Baptism of George: St Nicholas Church, Forest Hill, Oxfordshire, Saturday, 28th May, 2016.

1:55pm: St Nicholas Church.
We have arrived with just 5 minutes to spare thanks to problems on the M40.
Some well-wishers are still stuck on the motorway, evidently.
The view from the cheap seats.
We should get an excellent view of the bride's entrance unless……….
…..The Reverent requests that the congregation 'all rise'.
Oh well.
About to exchange vows.
John and Elizabeth are wed and The Vicar is now topping up the font 
with cool water to ensure a 'George-friendly' temperature.
George is unceremoniously lobbed into the font.
Phoebe carries George as the wedding/baptism party exit the church.
Enthusiastic confetti-lobbers gather outside the church.
Vicky in keen anticipation of some good old-fashioned confetti lobbing.
A whole lot of lobbing going on.
Graham and Pat: the proud parents of The Groom.
4:00pm-ish:
Cutting the cake at the Reception held at Horton-cum-Studley's Village Hall.
Pedants take great delight in spotting the surplus-to-requirements Full Stop.
We know our place.
Two men in suits.
Graham has worn his suit 4 times in the past 30 years.
David has had to wear his twice in 4 days (a funeral, a wedding, and a Baptism) 
but can't remember when he last wore it prior to that.
My son's just done what?!
Vicky, Pat, and Sue discussing Fascinators (possibly).

  1. Your wedding location is none other than a super beautiful dream castle. Bright sunny day of my brother's marriage made the celebration more special. Loved the outstanding ideas of event planner at NYC wedding venues for flower and crystal décor. Cuisines were delicious and desserts of all variety were ordered. Party favors were also wrapped beautifully.
