Many happy returns for the big day, me no hope it pishes down, hopefully the sun will shine and a good time will be had by all!!

Less than 13 months to mine (also during the season - I'm hoping I'm tempting fate by us then getting promotion and my wedding day clashing with some amazing Championship fixture!).

Where/When is the reception and is it open invite?


Title: Re: Samdy
Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, August 15, 2008, 15:42:11
Thanks guys! Feeling excited and a bit nervous at the same time. Really looking forward to it though. Fuck the weather, if it rains it doesn't matter, it's what we make of the day that counts.

The reception is at the Vale of White Horse Club in Cricklade. 7.30pm. If anyone wants to come along then feel free, the more the merrier. And it's club prices as well, only about £2 a pint.

Good luck for tomorrow.  If I can give you one piece of advice from my wedding day...it's your day (you and the wife to be), no-one elses.  Enjoy it and do things for yourselves not others.  If that sounds selfish then it should.  If you two can't be selfish on your wedding day, then when can you?  Btw, you'll need to the lady in question to be on board with this line of thinking, thankfully mine was.

Have a truly wonderful day.

Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, August 15, 2008, 17:06:24
Hope you are not booked into the honeymoon suite at the Cricklade Hotel and Country Club!  Wedding reception there last weekend, some prat emptied a foam fire extinguisher over the bed of the bride and groom.  Damaged the wallpaper, ruined the bed, £1,000 added to the bill for the happy couple.  They may not be too happy, but if they find out and report the idiot who did it, they have been told they will happily refund the money and bill the perpetrator!

Cheers again people. Been for the rehearsal tonight and it really hit home when we had to practice the vows. My mum was crying and everything. Bless.

Absolutely fantastic day. My head's all over the place at the moment and I don't really know how I feel, so many emotions in one day. It all went a bit quick really, but with somewhere around 1000 photographs we'll have a lot of memories to cherish.

Sam and Nickie, thank you both so much for the invitation to share your special day. It was an honour and our privilege to be there with you, and everything went off to a tee. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I'll kick Rach to get and process the hundreds of pictures she took yesterday.

I've yet to look at mine, but I'll be downloading them shortly. The ones on my phone from the club last night are rather, er, special.....beware Fred......

Thankfully for Fred, his blushes can be spared for a few days as I've mislaid my phone to pc cable  :doh:

Anyhow, I've downloaded my sum total of 35 shots from the day (shockingly low btw), and here are 7 samples that I've quickly (in 20 minutes) converted from RAW to JPG. Enjoy.

Fred - I have another photo that I'll pm you rather than post on here - don't worry, its not embarassing or anything, but just thought you'd rather I didn't post it on open forum.

Rachel just said she took 364 shots, and out of that lot 60+ are quality. I've look through the lot, and if you thought mine were good, just wait until you see hers........they are absolutely stunning.

Can't wait to see them.

Been through about 450 photos today that other family members have taken. I think when we've put them all together we'll have photos for absolutely everything that happened during the day. Great for memories.
