This is the morning of our wedding.... the caterers have set out the tablecloths, napkins & cutlery. I put out menus & placecards, but they kept blowing over in the wind. You can see me over on the left, picking up something that has blown onto the floor. Also we had to keep rearranging - five people told us they wouldn't be coming in the two days leading up to the wedding. The blue & white balloons and some silvery stars sprinkled over the tables were a gesture towards decoration, but overall the marquee was quite plain. Much more effort went into making sure we had the right food & music.
