A Long Weekend of Joy

On Friday, [livejournal.com profile] pinkapplejam and [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man aka [livejournal.com profile] hardcore_genki got married and probably should now change their names to pinkappleman and raggedy_jam as they now carry each other's names. :D I'm so happy for them not just because they are perfect together but also because it was such a perfect day.

The Happy Couple Emerge


All the guests be they friends or relatives from both sides got on really well and everyone had fun. I met many awesome people and all those wonderful drawings by [livejournal.com profile] pinkapplejam's artist friends in the wedding book made me feel almost a bit inadequate.
I also had a bit of a pang of envy during the reception when the DJ played some Rolling Stones and [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man's parents stopped mid-conversation to storm onto the dancefloor. My parents aren't that cool. :o(
Mentioning cool parents, one of my favourite shots is the one of [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man's dad channeling Cab Calloway during his speech:

Groom's Father's Speech


If you click on that photo and then on the link for the set, you can see all the photos from Friday and I wrote about it here.

I left just before 11 because I was knackered and had a headache from fuzzy vision.

Saturday was part 2 which involved drinks at the Pickerel, a visit of the Cambridge Folk Museum, a guided punt tour along the Backs and back, cocktails at The Snug and a dire dinner at Loch Fyne. Blog post here and photos via the following shot:

Cambridge Folk Museum


On Sunday I slept until noon, crawled out of bed, moaned and slowly got going and tackled the rest of the photos on my hard disk, publishing them on flickr, burning them on DVDs for the couple and their families and uploading highres shots for printing to photobox.

Dear [livejournal.com profile] pinkapplejam and [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man, thank you very much for inviting me and allowing me to be part of your happy day. I am really happy for you (and I'll see you tonight to pass on your present :D).

I love that photo of the groom's father.

The outfit just suited him so well. :o)

In that picture Andy's dad reminds me of Tom Waites as the Devil in Dr Parnasuss's imaginarium (or whatever it was called)...

It looks lovely! Pass my congratulations along to Andy (though I suspect he has long forgotten who I am!)

Love the pictures
