Friday 18th June 2004. Leon and Yukari's wedding, in Kent.
14:32:14 The Archbishop's Palace, Maidstone. The venue for the registration. |
14:48:19 Yukari has just arrived in the bridal car, or whatever you call it, and is having a chat with Leon. |
14:48:39 Yukari and Leon again. They're likely to feature in quite a lot of these pictures, you know. |
14:52:03 Yukari with her mother. |
15:26:33 I think this is just after the official bit of the ceremony, so you're now looking at Mr and Mrs. French. |
15:28:15 The old stalwart, signing the book picture. |
15:29:24 The newlyweds' parents come in to do their bit of the signing. |
15:33:19 A mandatory bit of confetti, with the couple entirely obscured by the flamboyant Italian photographer. With lines like "Come on smile, pretend like you love her!", he was a real gem. |
15:33:37 The couple attempting to shake off the confetti from the previous picture. |
15:33:52 Nice picture of the two of them in front of the doorway to the Archbishop's Palace. |
15:33:57 ...and again. |
15:35:31 On the stairs. |
15:35:37 On the stairs again. |
15:37:08 Obviously not posed picture including the bride's mother. |
15:39:42 Now one which was posed for including Yukari's mother. |
15:41:07 Yukari, Leon, and their respective parents. |
15:43:49 The couple with all of Leon's family. |
15:47:39 The couple with just Leon's parents. I like Leon's slightly mocking facial expression here. |
15:47:45 Same thing again really. |
15:55:24 Nice one in front of the churchyard. |
16:00:37 Wandering through the herb garden next to the Archbishop's Palace. |
16:00:44 In the herb garden again. |
16:00:54 ...and again. |
16:07:47 Chie on a bench. I was particularly fond of the dress she chose for the occasion. |
20:09:37 Right then, here's the reception, at The Goods Shed in Canterbury, which was an excellent choice of venue - the food was fantastic. |
20:09:59 Chie not wishing to be photographed. |
20:10:38 Me and Chie demonstrating our happiness at the provision of wine. |
20:23:22 A shot of the table we were on, with Chie inexplicably putting a candle on the top of her head. |
20:23:34 A shot of several tables, covering about three quarters of the guests. |
21:16:37 Chie drinking some water. |
21:45:38 Chie and Yukari, and it suddenly looks very dark outside (probably something to do with the flash). |
22:01:24 Some nice respectable young men - Stewart, me and Gav. |
22:02:36 Me and Chie. |
22:19:10 Yukari, seen between other people's heads, whilst David was making his speech. |
22:26:04 Craig making his speech (highly amusing it was too). |
22:42:16 Leon, Yukari, and Leon's cousins. |
22:44:57 Leon and Yukari cutting the cake. |
22:59:20 The girls waiting for the throwing of the bouquet. I have to admit a slight twinge of disappointment aty Chie's failure to get anywhere near the middle. |
23:00:01 Seemingly very funny. |
23:29:10 Sparklers - lovely. |
23:29:21 Seemingly the sparklers went out before I managed to take this picture. |
23:29:48 Gav having a sniff of a gone-out sparkler. |
23:30:00 Me, and I think Gav, looking a bit blurred. |
23:30:12 Chie liked this picture, so we left it in, although it is a bit pointless really! |
23:40:40 Gav and Mags having a bit of a fight apparently. |
23:41:34 Looks like Gav won. |
00:22:34 I think this is Chie and Gav doing "Man, Horse!". Sort of an in-joke, sorry. |
00:22:56 Last picture of the evening, as people mill around and start to think about leaving. All in all a really lovely day! |
