A Real London Wedding

Weddings here are done just a bit differently than how we do back home.
That said, there are striking similarities that helped to remind me a little of those old celebrations I've come back to like quite a bit.

Andy is the head of the science department at school. He was married to Bella on Saturday, one day after the Royal Wedding.
After the civil ceremony at "city hall" (naturally it's not called that here in posh old England, but my propa English vocab-lrrry precludes me at present), we all took a boat ride down the Thames.
Following the boat's docking, we went to a garden party along the water's edge where the champagne was flowing like wine ;) followed by a seated meal with superb wine. It was really quite lovely.

Here's a few snaps from a great day out in the sun...
