Nephew's Wedding Day

The Wedding of Craig and Claire


Well we had a sun filled day so we were blessed as the weather of late could have made this day so very different.
Both Bride and Groom were radiant and enjoyed their special day.




The 2 best dressed boys my great Nephews Dylon who is 3 in December who is quite the whirlwind when trying to get a picture of him and Layton born 8th July dressed in the tiniest waistcoat and cravat.



Chris was Usher and looked quite dapper, Natalie kept me company while her Dad was doing his duties.


The Reception
The reception was at Lumley Castle which is full of wondrous images I couldn't resist taking pictures of the walls and the ceiling and heard many a comment like "I bet we see some of them shots in a card form" ha ha well maybe we will.
The first image below was in a corridor that we had to walk through to get to the reception room although some thought it was spooky I found it all quite charming.
If you click on the pictures of the ceiling and walls you will see just how beautiful the plaster work is.




The Bridal Suite
The first 2 pictures I couldn't resist I think the toilet was made for midgets it was so low and the second picture just totally cracked me up this was the comic mags hanging on the back of the door.




Craig striking a pose for me and the champagne bucket with the strawberry filled glasses


the room was filled with character

Glad that you had a good day too. The ceilings look very similar to those at Fountains Hall - I wonder if they are around the same era. You and Natalie look great and the bride and groom very happy. The littlies are so cute too.

Looks like you had a lovely day and the weather was good also. Even though I only live 5 minutes away from Lumley Castle I have only ever been there once for a banquet but I cannot remember those fabulous ceilings.
