Some ingredients for a wonderful wedding

This is not an exhaustive list, because I was rather more intent on having a nice time than remembering to take photos as it went along.  The Prosecco (not pictured, but being tipped into my glass on a regular basis) may also have a little to do with it...

*A beautiful and historic church...


All Saints and St James the Great, otherwise known as 'The Minster of the Moors'...


Complete with gargoyles, ancient and modern...


This chap was actually in the choir singing for the wedding!

* Vintage transport...





*A stunning setting for the reception...


The bride's family home, set amidst rolling hills...


Gamboling lambs in the field next to the garden...


Steps leading from the marquee up to the house...





*A stunning, bunting-bedecked  marquee...


*Sweet floral arrangements...


*The sound of music (actually, 'The Sound of Music')...


*The garden pond as a feature within the marquee!
(A bottle of champagne had been put aside for the first person to fall in!)


*Good company (everyone was captured on a Fuji 'Instax' camera by one of the guests, to make a lovely memento for the happy couple)...


*Smart young men (groom on the right, best man on left and one of the U-t-B clan in the middle)...


*And, of course, a very happy and lovely couple...


We had the loveliest of times - it really was a fabulous wedding!  The families had both put in a lot of hard work, so there were lots of personal touches that made it very special. I hope they are all enjoying a well-deserved rest now!
