Lyndsey and Jeegar got married at Audleys Wood Hotel a fine former Victorian Hunting lodge hidden in 7 acres of Hampshire countryside. Again it looked like the British summer was going to disappoint us as the morning slowly turned from just being slightly overcast to a dreary damp drizzle. Still the weather would not dampen the spirits and the days festivities began in earnest.
Up to the girls first, a room filled with laughter and I have to say complete calmness, the usual comings and goings – hair and makeup and the beautiful dresses, bridesmaids, flowergirls, and Mums and Dads. Soon Lyndsey was looking stunning in her dress and ready to marry her man.
The boys it has to be said left things a little later than perhaps they should have to get ready, but with typical blokey style they pulled it off with some panache and time to spare to allow the all important drink in the bar before the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was a touching affair and at last Lyndsey and Jeegar could finally call themselves husband and wife. Outside the party processed to play some garden games – giant Jenga, Boules and the like, still drizzling slightly a few umbrella’s put pay to that and the happy couple and their guests enjoyed champagne, canapes the games and good warm company of friendship.
Then to the marquee for the wedding breakfast – once everyone was seated safely inside and enjoying their meal, the sky cleared and the sun came out! Typical – still after the meal and hilarious speeches at least this allowed the guests to mingle outside in the warm evening sunshine, whilst Lyndsey Jeegar and I were able to slip off for a few quiet romantic shots.
Back to the marquee, welcoming more guests for the evening fun and then the first dance. The party then really kicked up a gear and everyone partied the night away. Lyndsey and Jeegar are a very lovely warm and genuine couple, I wish them every happiness.
