Strangely no one ever called him Jedward.  Come to think of it, neither did I?  Probably a good thing then.

Oh the irony.  Waiting all summer for some hot weather and we get the hottest day of the year.  On OCTOBER 1st.  A thought that I’m sure no amount of planning could have overcome.  3 piece suits?  Sure!  Why not?  We’ll need the extra layers to keep warm.  Survey said?  XXXXXXX

Despite the ‘heat’…and let’s be honest, it was hardly heat..everything went exactly to plan.  Good thing too as Aileen and Jed are planners.  Some people really enjoy it and I got the impression they did.  Jed was more than a little delighted to see Darren and I a full 50 minutes early.

The George in Rye is a kind of a hidden gem.  From street level it looks like a nice gastro pub.  You would be challenged to believe that there is a considerable number of rooms as well as the most fantastic ballroom which is perfect for ceremonies, receptions and evening entertainment.  Rye itself is totally quaint.  They should bus in loads of Americans at the weekend just to add to the ambiance.   I, on my own, wasn’t really enough.

As usual, there will be a number of additional images to review on my Facebook Business Page.  The link to these will appear at the end of this post.  You wouldn’t want to miss my gentle musings would you?  So scroll, enjoy and THEN click.

I’m not a mad detail junkie but this place kind of deserved it!  More later.

Willis?  What you talking ’bout?

Light to die for

It was, after all, the hottest day of the year

Dad gets a wee bit emotional

he treated it like popcorn

This image is actually from Darren…but I thought it needed to be shown as the two images (above and below) were taken at the same time

I’m thinking Jed thought he deserved more than a hug!

Not fond of the applause

With 70+ guests and a courtyard designed for about 30 I had to go inside for formals…I quite liked the result

Luckily no one was in at No. 1

Quaint

Melting

More we-tails

Nothing like an expressive Best Man

And now a few from Darren
