Getting Ready

A few shots of the preparations for the big day. We decided to hold the ceremony on, or rather above in order to avoid lag, our plots in Tanglewood.

Our lawn was transformed into a wedding grove, with magnolias in bloom, a podium with rose arches and a fantastic runner, strewn with rose petals, which my darling Kacy created in PS.

Here are a couple of shots of the layout, including one of her view up the runner, and one of the view I had from the podium.

Then it was over to Cymru, where His Grace Duke Vollmar had very kindly allowed us to use his duchal castle for the reception. Kacy decked it out with swags and ribbons which carried the theme over from the grove.

As you can see we are in our slacks prior to the wedding, as is traditional. One point of merriment was the size of the cake, here demonstrated by my love - how many grooms can say they have had a bride as big as a cake!
