The weather leading up to the date was not good to say the least and the journey the night before was in torrential rain!! However the Saturday turned into a clear day with some lovely winter sun to warm us up.

Owain and Helen had put so much effort into the little touches for their day which meant that we got some great fun pictures.

Here are Owain and his brother and best man Huw.

The theme of the wedding was snowflakes and icicles and as we hadn’t had enough snow for the last few weeks (hmmm) a fake snow machine was needed. Ably steered by Dan; one of the ushers!

And so on to the girl’s preparations:

A quick check that everything is running to ‘The Schedule’:

Then on to the serious bit of getting married:

The snow machine was a great success and none of that dangerous ice afterwards:

The scenery around the barns was stunning and we were rewarded with some lovely winter sunshine:

There were several games on hand to amuse the guests, including Jenga:

The snowflake theme was carried on inside the barn:

Including Ice Sculptures with snowflakes frozen into the designs:

The guests then released paper lanterns into the sky. Some say that these explain the UFO sightings in nearby Droitwich; we couldn’t possibly comment!
