A Seaside Wedding

Hi there everyone πŸ˜€

On the day of Rachel and Tom’s wedding we woke up to blue sky, fluffy clouds and some sunshine …
We had a leisurely get up and started the day with a decent breakfast …
We were soon ready for the off, with time for a selfie with a view before jumping in a taxi to head for The Tunnels …
It was only a short drive and we managed to catch a glimpse of Erin, looking like an angel in her flower girl dress as we made our way down to the terrace where the wedding was to take place …
It all looked beautiful and as we were some of the first guests to arrive we got to take plenty of photos …
We were soon all seated waiting for the bridal party to arrive. We didn’t take any photos during the ceremony but it was just lovely. Emma and Erin did fabulously as flower girls, the bridesmaids looked lovely and Rachel looked absolutely stunning. 

It was a beautiful ceremony and it was so lovely to finally get to see Rachel and Tom tie the knot in the most beautiful of settings, with all their close friends and family, on a lovely summer’s day. 

We celebrated with Pimms and scones with cream and jam … the Devon way …
… and plenty of photos …
After plenty of time chilling and chatting in the sunshine we moved upstairs for the wedding breakfast …
The room looked lovely, with fabulous views over the sea. We were soon all seated and tucking into plenty of tasty food, followed by a scrummy dessert …
It was then time for speeches, which brought a tear to my eye and plenty of laughter … before moving back outside for Rachel and Tom’s first dance as husband and wife …
We spent the evening just generally chatting and watching what was going on … and I realised I hadn’t actually taken a photo of Rach with her mum and dad …
The evening ended with pasties, which I was just too full to eat, so we wrapped a few up to take for our lunch the following day …
Phil made a good effort though and provided one of my favourite photos of the day …
We eventually said our good byes and headed for home. It had been the perfect day and so lovely to have been part of it. 

We woke the next morning to flowers on our doorstep …
… and pasties for breakfast …
Later that evening we had a bit of a drive round Ilfracombe and came across this view of The Tunnels from above … with another wedding in full flow …
