The Youngers!!

Today we are off to Marlborough, a place I understand to be very posh! And very posh it was! The venue for Chris and Kate's wedding was stunning, a stately home with stables, lots of ground, a very large pond, a fancy garden I could go on. The outside area was set up for the wedding and the weather was stunning. It was the first wedding we have been to that had a friend officiate the ceremony and he was fab with personal stories and jokes throughout.

The canopes were amazing, I think we ate our weight in canopes to be honest, probably a good thing the meal was lighter with cous cous, chicken and salad. We obviously had drama at our table as one of his uni friends was beyond drunk (on the reception drinks mainly prosecco) and dropped the entire bottle of sparkling water...that smashed all over the table...glass and water everywhere! Luckily we'd all finished our meals!! I was just thankful I wasn't the most drunk person as being a lightweight I normally am!!

The speeches were great, a lot of people on Kate's side saying they were looking forward to them moving to Australia and a lot of people on Chris' side hoping it wasn't going to happen too soon!

This was also our first wedding that had a cheese wedding cake, it looked great and I guess it's definitely a way to use all the cake on the day as it was cut up for the evening buffet. Shame I didn't get a picture really.

There were a lot of firsts at this wedding as it was also the first bouquet we'd seen thrown and the first garter to be removed!! Hmmm.

We had a great time! Dancing, laughing at the drunk guy that got progressively worse after the meal! We headed back to our room at a pub in Marlborough that had all their rooms themed. Ours was the King John room, wooden bed, regal in decor, big fire place. But being an old pub the floors were all wonky! You felt drunk as soon as you walked in before drinking a thing!

Anyway another great occasion celebrated today - congratulations the The Youngers!
