Finally got our wedding photos back today - so here they are! I've chosen a few of the best to put here, obviously reduced size and quality to save loading times. The album was really nice, we had to wait 6 weeks for him to order some kind of leather binder thing from Italy, but it was well worth the wait. As the photographer is the father of a friend from primary school and knows I'm a photographer/designer he gave us all the master images on CD as well, usually we'd only have got the thumbnails. So hopefully I can use those to create sickeningly romantic graphics :)
My beautiful bride Ely :)
Me and Matt, my best friend and Best Man.
Me, Matt and the Ushers; L-R: Nick, Tom, Me, Matt, Ian and Mike (my cousins, who also played in the band at the reception).
Ely's cousins and bridesmaids, Naz and Tanya. If I remember correctly Tanya and her family came all the way from Cyprus to attend the wedding.
This is Ely with her 'Father' for the day, Lee. Ely's parents didn't come, so her friend Lee stood in as the Father of the Bride to give her away :) He did a speech at the reception too, and made a joke about how he could have managed to conceive a child at the age of 4, hehe.
Ely and her bridesmaids; L-R: Naz, Louisa, Ely, Tanya. Louisa's wearing a different coloured dress because of some kind of disaster at the last minute with her original - I don't quite know what happened, but someone drove her into Birmingham on the morning of the wedding to buy a new one. I think having one bridesmaid in black looked kinda cool though, most people thought we did it on purpose.
Inside the church, I think at the point of exchanging rings.
Me and Ely with some of my family, L-R: My grandad, my mom, me, Ely, my dad, my sister Alice and my nan.
Me and Ely with my proud parents, hehe.
Me and Ely - such a cute couple, hehe.
Me and Ely with the Ushers and Best Man.
Me with Ely and her family, plus Lee.
Me and Ely with my entire family - yup, there's a lot of us.
This one is of "everyone else" as the photographer put it, all the wedding guests who weren't related to us.
'Cutting' the cake - we didn't actually cut anything as we had a stack of invidually boxed cakes rather than one big one, but we did the symbolic cutting and photo anyway.
Confetti being thrown outside the church - for some reason this one was in grayscale on the disc...
