Kathy and John's big day (well one of them anyway)

On Bank Holiday Monday in August we went to a gorgeous hotel called Foxhills in Ottershaw for Kathy and John's wedding reception.

They actually got married on the 20th of August in Yosemite with 14 close friends, which from what I hear was a magical experience. But to be able to celebrate with friends and family who couldn't get to Yosemite they had the full works (apart from the service) over here.

We couldn't believe how lucky they were with the weather as it had been raining all week and August Bank Holiday is well known for being a wash out. But it was a beautiful day. It started off with us all outside having drinks waiting for the lucky couple to arrive.

They had garden games for the kids to play (and some adults) and the gardens were simply beautiful.



(Poor David who had broken his arm on Saturday night and was in pain most of the day, bless him)

When they arrived we had photos and then went over to the part of the hotel where we were having a full sit down meal. I have to say I wasn't looking forward to the food very much as the main course was lamb and I am not a fan of lamb at all. But oh my goodness, it was beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. This was followed by the speeches. Dad went first and did a great job and John followed with a lovely speech too. But then we got to the best man's speech. All I can say is I have never been to a wedding where the best man's speech received a standing ovation. Christian you real did an AMAZING job.
The night was finished with a live singer for and hour and followed by a DJ who helped us dance the night away.

They both looked so happy and Kathy looked simply stunning.

I haven't got the best pictures to put on here but it really was an event where you were simply having to much fun to stop and grab your camera.

Thank you Kathy and John for a great day. We love you both.
