Brent and Marta’s wedding

Starting with a long journey to the Aeolian Islands and pre-wedding drinks on a tempestuously windy hotel terrace, Jo and I had a great time at my oldest friend Brent’s wedding to his Italian sweetheart, Marta. From the baroque Chiesa del Porto church in Santa Maria Salina, a volley of the usual wedding photos and their trip back to the hotel in an ancient white Fiat Cinquecento, drinks on the terrace of the lovely Capo Faro resort, a fine dinner with the honour of sitting with Brent and Marta at their top table of friends and wedding witnesses, to drunken dancing and pool antics, we have a load of happy memories and a pile of photos with which to remember the weekend. The full set of my photos from the wedding and celebrations is also online in this set at Flickr.

Or, in other words, T zero! It’s been a long and eventful journey up from Switzerland to Scotland, though we’ve had only a couple of minor hiccups and no real problems. I’ve been keeping a diary as we’ve been travelling but as you can imagine, I’ve more important things to worry about today! I’ll post outakes when I have a little more time but I thought I’d let everyone online know how it’s going.
Yesterday’s rehearsal was so sweet; one of the most endearing moments so far was arriving at Rosslyn Chapel yesterday evening and everyone else already there waving to me as I arrived, with Jo in front of family and the rest of our immediate wedding party. It was one of those moments which stick in your mind and (as a photographer) you just wish you had a camera for! Jo was incredibly giggly and soppy as we were practising in the chapel and I really didn’t even notice the other people around in the chapel, the world seemed to contract to the priest and to Jo. I can only imagine how it’ll be doing the same thing wh

I knocked off early this afternoon and headed for the car rental place in Interlaken, where a lovely old retired man helped me to calm down by taking a good twenty five minutes to fill in the necessary paperwork, to confirm that I had, in fact, already paid for the rental in advance. It was a nice surprise to see an old favourite parked and waiting for me – an Audi A4 Avant estate – a similar version of which I drove to England and back to collect Jo last year. Then home via two supermarkets to try and find cool boxes for food and drink in the car – apparently, only sold during the summer season in the MMM Migros in Thun, before they’re cleared out to make way for skis for the masses.
So, home, sans cool boxes, but avec quite a lot of a certain type of gift which generally goes down well both within and outside Switzerland. As well as a suitcase full of presents, we also have two more filled neatly with clothes, a large bag filled with warm winter clothing for our time in the mountains of the Lake District a

With only just over a week to go until we get married, and less than 48 hours until we’re on our way to Scotland, I’m getting really excited. Yesterday was very emotional as I was able to finally complete the definite versions of the last pieces of stationery and I booked hotels in Oxfordshire and Kent, for the leg of our honeymoon trip which takes in the south of England. Yesterday was also the day on which we were down into single figures for the number of days remaining until our wedding, and that really brought it home to me. The weeks and months of working on our wedding plans have nearly reached an end. Next Friday – next Friday – I will be married! Even listening to a couple of perhaps slightly schmaltzy songs on the train last night, which we’ll have played during our wedding reception, were enough to top off a day of heightened emotion to bring tears of happiness to my eyes. I won’t spoil the surprise for those who are going to be with us next Friday night, nor will I embarrass myself before the wid
The Beginning of the Engagement

I’d not planned all that much about it, though one thing was certain. Some months earlier, it had come to me in a brain-wave. I wanted to ask Jo to marry me by the light of stars and moon, on the banks of the lake in the town where we live.
