Gemma and Dan’s wedding took place at the Doubletree Hilton in Chester, featuring an outdoor ceremony and group photographs in the hotel’s scenic grounds. Highlights included a witty and animated speech by the bridesman David and an outstanding performance by a singing waiter, an increasingly common form of entertainment at such events.

This. Wedding. Rocked. Literally.

Angie and Paul are Macclesfield born and bred. Everything  was kept as local as possible and incorporated old and new traditions. Music is really important to of them – woven intro their lives and that  of their friends. All guests were asked to come as they were to  show their personalities in what they wore.  Angie and Paul had bucked tradition. They were given away by their children.  It included a circle of and the wedding rings being passed to their Celebrant by the children. Instead of readings were poems and instead of hymns, everybody sang along to rock anthems. The couple and their guests walked through Macclesfield to their reception at Macclesfield Masonic Hall.

This was definitely a fun-filled Anglo-Scottish union, with Mairi’s family coming from Scotland (of course) so  plenty  of kilts were on  show as well as examples of Scottish  dancing and the drinking of the wee drams.

To  me this image beautifully captures the energy and joy their wedding celebration. An unscripted genuine snapshot of the joy and love that abounded on that occasion.
