Our second wedding this weekend saw us up early on Sunday and whizzing down the M1 to deepest Derbyshire for Kate & Paul’s wedding. We were joined my my partner in U2-crime, Rob Booker who came with me to Kate’s parents’ house for the girls’ preparations. Meanwhile Lou was more than holding her own with 18 (count ‘em) guys enjoying the mother of all fry-ups in a cafe bar in Derby. She was a bit intimidated and overwhelmed by the testosterone initially, but soon relaxed when everyone stripped down to their pants to get changed into their wedding togs (please note, this was back at Paul’s flat, not in the restaurant….) For obvious reasons we’ll draw a veil over photos of that part of the day for blog-viewing purposes….
Anyway, after that everyone headed over to Shottle Hall where everything was happening. It’s a beautiful venue – a contemporary feel inside an old manor house in the middle of stunning countryside. The boys arrived in style in an understated stretch Range Rover, then the girls in rather more classic cars. I have to say Kate looked amazing. I think radiant is the word – stunning.
After the emotional ceremony, it was time for drinks and photos outside. The weather was gorgeous and warm, but quite cloudy so we managed to get some ace Wuthering Heights style shots with a big brooding sky.
Kate & Paul, thanks again for inviting us to be part of your day – we’ll see you soon.
Lou & Phil xx
