Brecon and Huw and Bec's wedding

We arrived in Brecon a bit late on the 13th and blame that squarely on Blenheim Palace, it was so grand and beautiful it proved hard to leave.

We were made very welcome by Carol and Bob, who very kindly put us all up for the weekend and showed us around Brecon. The kids were in a permanent state of excitement and had all sorts of fun exploring the garden, picking raspberries and playing with Bob and Carol's pooch Frankie.

And on Saturday it was off to the wedding, and what a wedding it was!  Firstly we all got scrubbed up.

And then came the ceremony in the beautiful Brecon Cathedral.  The bride, groom and bridal party looked fabulous!  Not a single detail was forgotten including, of course, an umbrella for the bride.  Did I mention that it rains quite a bit over here?

And then it was on to the reception.  It was held in a palatial marquee in one of the fields of Bec's family farm.  The scenery was stunning and the paddock grass was like prize winning Australian lawn! Note the sunshine!!

And for those that like to see the finer details :)

See below for examples of the gorgeous scenery and amazingly green grass.  And I love this shot of Wendy in the purple with her "entertaining-the-grand- children" change of footwear!

It was a beautiful wedding and we were so pleased to have been able to share Huw and Bec's special day, and to have the chance to catch up with David, Michele, Charlotte, Andrew and Katherine, to meet Bob and Carol and cousin Gareth and his wife Bethan and to see Uncle John and Wendy.  We wish Huw and Bec all the best for their married life together and hope to catch up soon in Essex.
