... And the reception

You've seen the wedding pics, now for some reception pics ...

On each table there was a table name, my table was called Lord Nelson & Lady Hamilton, I like to think it was a fitting name ;)

 

 some of the other tables were called John & Yoko, Monica & Chandler, Kate & William, Mark Anthony & Cleopatra, Romeo & Juliet

 and at each place setting there was a card.

This picture is a bit blurred, but the card reads

"A donation has been made on your behalf to Cancer Research UK to celebrate the marriage of Leanne & Mark"  

This charity is very close to our hearts, as my aunty, Marks mother, died from breast cancer 10 years ago.

The cake, lovingly made by Wayne, my daughters fiancee.

Mark making his speech ~ 

as you can see in this picture the head table was called Eileen & David in memory of Marks parents. (As well as the loss of his mum ten years ago, his dad (my uncle) died last year.) It was such a lovely way to include them in the celebrations.

Doesn't really need an explanation, so I won't :)
