10 Years ago.

It was a beautiful, sunny,hot August day, and we got married. It was pretty much a perfect day really, we got married at Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel (though it seems to been taken over – it was an independently run place then) and had the place all to ourselves. Lots of family and friends around us, a nice simple ceremony, lots of merriment, lots of great memories. Just a lovely, lovley day.

If i hear the music we had as we left the room at the end of the ceremony (Overture from the soundtrack to Much Ado About Nothing), it still makes my eyes go all watery. Loving you as much as always Helen.

Wedding Day


Amusing bit: The DJ got fed up playing smoochy numbers at the end of the reception, as everyone kept leaving the dance floor, so he finished up playing something (I forget what now) from The Prodigy. :-)

What we missed bit: As it was a civil ceremony we couldn’t have any hymns.

Bad bit: Helen’s dad realising rather too late in the day that he hadn’t had a film in his camera :-(

(sorry, poor photo, scanner not working properly, so I took a quick snap of it)

  1. Happy Anniversary both of you! Hope the next 10 years are just as good :)

  2. I have a neg scanner – it is slow to use, but if there are some special shots you want to convert you are welcome to borrow it some time. It will scan up to about 20MP from a 35mm neg.

    And congratulations.

  3. Happy Anniversary!!
