It’s not often you find yourself following in the steps of history, royalty and Elton John but today we did.

Windsor Guildhall dates from 1687. Originally designed by Sir Thomas Fiddes it was completed after his death by Sir Christopher Wren who oversaw it’s completion for the princely sum of £2,000.

I’m sure some of the outfits worn today must have come close to that but all the money, and nerves, were for a good reason as we came together from near and far to celebrate the wedding of James and Cheryl.

The best weddings owe a lot to the old saying, “Something old, something new” and this one was no exception. From the lateness of the bride (a rather worrying half an hour late) to the cutting of a cheese rather than a cake the whole day was a happy mix of old and new.

After the ceremony there was a champagne reception in the Guildhall before we headed to Nick’s for the wedding breakfast, speeches, some more champagne and a cheesy disco.

What a great way to start a life together - congratulations !!
