The Wedding Report: The Big Fat Party

The final instalment of The Wedding Report is upon us!

Here’s my mum’s friend holding up the photo montages we gave to our parents of our engagement shoot. Annoyingly – we forgot to give them out during the speeches so had to do it a little later… oops!

Here’s Alice preparing for her amazing jazz set later on.

So, yeah, we went to play crazy golf Jeff, our videographer, asked us if we were up for it and my response was something along the lines of ‘Jeff, you get us the clubs and balls, and we’ll play golf!’

And now for the ceilidh! This is Triple Scotch welcoming us into the evening. I was a little worried about how the ceilidh would go down, but as you’ll see, it went down a REAL TREAT!

As we hadn’t had our official first dance yet, we had an unofficial first ceilidh dance, where we took centre stage in the middle of the circle!

I can’t get over how much FUN people are having!

Here we are, taking to the floor for our (totally unchoreographed!) first dance.

Here’s the beautiful Alice, with 6pac, who took us to the end of the night.

Everything was AMAZING. I can’t even describe.

AND SO… I open the floor to the beautiful Sally… who I hear is getting married in, what’s that, THREE DAYS?! Woop woop!
