Our wedding was a fairytale come true, thanks to our dear family and friends, so many of whom played a massive part in making the day so very special for us.
The venue was a beautiful 19th Century fort (www.polhawnfort.com), perched on the cliffs of the Cornish coast. The views are amazing and the weather was perfect!

The Civil Service
We were married by law on 15th April, in what was a very moving civil service thanks to our Saltash Registrars, Ms Tovey and Mr Ley. Their unexpected Cornish Blessing, following David's flawless delivery of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, left the bride thankful for her waterproof mascara !!

Our Handfasting
The "big day" was 16th April, when we were Handfasted in the presence of our family and closest friends. We were blessed with an utterly perfect day, thanks to the hard work and unyielding support of so many.
