TeeJay Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It's taken me a while to get this all organized, but, I'd finally like to share with everyone, a selected album from the events over my wedding. Without the contributions from this forum, this wedding would not have gone down as smoothly as it did, and, possibly, not even occurred at all, so it's the least I can do to share some candid shots with everyone The wedding took place in Wales: in the village of Portmeirion: When these photos were taken, it was like being in a snow globe After a quick tour round the Village, we had an evening meal with all the guests on the day The following day, the day of the wedding, the weather was like this: The ceremony took place in The Mirror Room: Signing the register... Tee... Me with me Best Men, Emily with her bridesmaids: Group shot: Outside the hotel Portmeirion: Entourage: Down by the stone boat, the name of which, translates to 'Friends Reunited'. Apt, as my bro flew all the way from Tokyo to attend This is as close as it got to wrist shots: Then it was time for the evening meal... Three wise monkeys... and afterwards, three amigos... The following morning, we went about the Village getting photos of Emily's hat. This was her wedding present. A woolly hat... Yes, a woolly hat. A woolly hat made specifically for her, by the lovely Diva Zappa... Walking on water? That's not hard.... As long as it's frozen Taking an awesome photo... And tha's it from Wales... But I'm not done yet, there was still the reception to come Nicola should have been attending the wedding as a bridesmaid, but was unable to get the time off work... The witch's Coven Cheers Cutting the cake: Going through cards: And that was that... Once again, I'd like to give a huge thanks to everyone who's contributions, be it financial, advice, or otherwise, made things go as smoothly as they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 What a beautiful setting for a wedding, one of the nicest I've seen, my wife and I were married in what was basically a tin shed on a sweltering hot day in Fiji, would have swapped with you in an eye blink.

Corgi Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Fantastic pictures! I would love to visit that little town, it looks so quaint.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the good wishes, guys, but it's honestly no problem, after all, we're all bros here. As Lani says, One heart ~ One community. Given all the help and advice folks have given me, sharing the wedding photos is the least I can do Corgi, the Village was actually the project build of an eccentric Quite a place, and well worth a visit if you're ever able Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 My word but you are a handsome devil!! Yet in saying that I'm blind so what do I know!! Glad the whole thing went so well bud!!

DemonSlayer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Amazing..simply amazing! What a fantastic day you and Emily must have had Love the photos, love the choice of attires, and that location... that really is something. Both you and E look great Wish you both a happy life together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 You guys look great - and that victorian parlor for the event is just amazing! And the suit discussions payed off as well it seems. Nice half spread collar and half windsor - worked great. And the black/red theme is always a winner. Everything goes with black. As I said, you both look like a million bucks! Beyond that, a couple more observations: First, we finally get to see the "hairstyle". Second, we have the same birthday of course so I knew we would share some traits but your nose looks the exact same as mine in some of these pics. I will say that I have more hair than you though, but I'm guessing that isn't much of a race. lol. Again, congrats. Looks like mine is sneaking up fast as well, although there are some illnesses in the family so we are playing it by ear on the date until a few items are sorted.

specialvat Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for sharing your special day with us, It looks a lovely place for a wedding. Was the prisoner filmed there or am I confused ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the whole thing went so well bud!! I'll join Lani in wishing you the Red Dragon! N6 Thanks bro, and thanks again for the awesome wedding gift I had hoped that more photos while signing the register would have captured the watch better, but alas, those were the closest thing to wrist shots The Red Dragon will be getting tattooed once I can scrape the cash together... Either that, or I try and convince the bank that a self-designed body-suit does constitute a business expense as 'advertising' Amazing..simply amazing! What a fantastic day you and Emily must have had Love the photos, love the choice of attires, and that location... that really is something. Both you and E look great Wish you both a happy life together Indeed, it was awesome, bro Thanks for the good wishes You guys look great - and that victorian parlor for the event is just amazing!

Looks like mine is sneaking up fast as well, although there are some illnesses in the family so we are playing it by ear on the date until a few items are sorted. Thanks, bro, the suit discussions were really helpful Indeed, not much of a "hairstyle", but, certainly one which requires maintenance... I mean, if I had alopecia, or was just really old, then yes, that's being bald... All the time I have to work on it, it's still a "hairstyle"... At least... That's what I keep telling myself :lol:/ By choice, my hair would be something like this: Never mind though, there's more to life than hair I knew Emily was going to have a red dress (although I didn't see it before hand), and I knew I wanted to wear a red tie Agent 47-style, but I was really pleased with how everything coordinated on the day If health might be an issue for yours, might splitting it over a few days as we did give more flexibility? My parents are still going to be holding another 'reception' at the end of March, for all the relatives who couldn't make it to the reception, maybe something like that might be helpful in your situation? Thanks for sharing your special day with us, It looks a lovely place for a wedding. Was the prisoner filmed there or am I confused ? No problem, and indeed, the location really helped make it memorable You're absolutely right, that was where the Prisoner was filmed In the show, the hotel Portmeirion (where the ceremony took place) was the old folks home Poor wrist shots! Nice one TeeJay, hope it was a memorable day for you and wish you all the best for the future with your wife! I know, they're pretty shameful, I just didn't really have time to take any myself (would've looked a bit funny trying to get the right angle while trying to sign the register ) but I guess that's just one of those things It was indeed a very memorable day, thanks for the good wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Indeed, location, location, location We'd always wanted to get married there, having stayed a few times for vacations I'd strongly suggest anyone visit if they get the chance Congratulations T - fantastic photos, and the best of luck and much happiness to the both of you.
