Wedding 2 - The McNaughton's

Wedding 2 saw us driving down to Essex for the marriage of Vicki my flatmate from Uni and her hubby to be James. The weather was not looking good for their special day as we drove through rain shower after rain shower and torrential down pours! When we arrived at the venue, which seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere, it began to rain...again. In went all the guests as quickly as possible but poor Vicki was sat in the car waiting for it to ease before getting out so the bride was fashionably late!

The venue was stunning, a converted barn whose only purpose is weddings. The outside was set up for the ceremony as well as inside but unfortunately the rain was so heavy it had to be inside. We sat down thinking well we don't really know anyone here, except the ladies I've met before or on the hen do then a little voice from behind started calling me. I turned around not sure who it was then the penny dropped and I realised it was our other flat mate from uni's brother! Long time no see!!

Luckily the weather broke and the sun came out for the photo's outside and only started raining again when we went in for the meal. Our table was guessing at what the meal was, Daniel hit the nail on the head with chicken in bacon, which was the same as Lesley's wedding. Standard wedding meal I guess. It was lovely though, and the pate for starter's and trio of desserts were yum. As were the canapes we got during the drinks reception prior to the meal. Very good wedding venue but I guess if that is all you do you do it very well indeed!

This time the theme was snowboarding! Tables were named after ski resorts they had been to, the top table was where they were going on thier honeymoon and the cake was a mountain with them at the top! Very cool! Our little table treat this time was a little different as they were flower pots with seeds and a little poem to remember thier day, very cute, we need to plant ours now.

So here is the happy couple and the mountain cake!
