Moorhouse Family 40th Birthday Bash at Home by Stuart

Debra & Philip, Audley's Wood

Stuart had a great day with Debra and Philip, this was a real family affair right from the start. Debra and Philip had been together for a while and both had children. It was the children that really brought them together and they weren't going to forget that fact on their big day. The children played a very big part in the wedding and the whole event was more like a huge family party.
The ceremony itself took place at All Saints Church in Clatsford, Debra arrived in a very large stretch limousine and despite being with Philip for sometime was still very nervous. However the nerves soon abated when she saw Philip for the first time as she came down the aisle and the ceremony was full of fun and laughter.
After the ceremony the couple left for their reception at Audley's Wood near Basingstoke where the party continued. The venue was decorated with brightly coloured balloons (for children of all ages, including Stuart of course), and the festivities were lively indeed. After the formal meal a band took over and the family all partied well into the night - Philip even took a turn on the mike and belted out a couple of cracking songs. A great day was had by all, including Stuart who does like a good boogie!

Lucy & Graham, Crown Hotel Blandford Forum

Okay now this is another love story... Lucy and Graham first met at School at the tender ages of 14 and 15 and immediately fell in love. Now you might say this is very young and as with many things time will tell its own story. But for Lucy and Graham this was just the beginning of a long and beautiful road together. Their love continued to blossom throughout their school days and it soon became apparent that the couple were inseparable. School over and University loomed for Graham, would this find a way to intervene in the couples relationship - no way! Lucy and Graham kept in constant contact and would visit each other regularly and on Grahams return from University the couple finally moved in together, all that was now left to cement their relationship was marriage and Graham now with a good career in the family business popped the well expected question. Of course Lucy said yes at once and the fairy-tale was nearly complete.

On the big day I went to Lucy's house in the morning where she and her Bridesmaids and close family were getting ready. Excitement was the order of the day - not a nerve in sight... Lucy was just bursting with laughter and love and just couldn't wait to get her stunning dress on and get to her childhood sweetheart at the church.

Graham waiting at the church (St Mary's in Stalbridge), was also excited, but perhaps a little more nervous. at last Lucy arrived and the couple finally cemented their long love affair with the exchange of rings and beautiful vows.

Off to the reception at the Crown Hotel in Blandford forum, a real family affair. Both families obviously knew each other very well by now, and so this was indeed a very happy event as it seemed to be just one seamless family bubbling with pride and joy, glad to be finally officially united.

The evening saw the arrival of many many friends that the infectious Lucy and Graham had gathered to them over the years. This gave way to a fantastic party that lasted well into the night, and from what I have heard since, some well into the next day!

Best wishes to you both Lucy and Graham you are a lovely couple.
