UK Trip Part 7 (Natasha and Ben's wedding)

Our trip to the UK finished on a high note with the wedding of Natasha and Ben. They were married at a beautiful little church near Aylesbury and the reception was in the Orangery at Blenheim Palace. To be there and involved in the wedding was so wonderful and we have such amazing memories of a fantastic day!

The evening finished with some wonderful tunes on the dance floor, surrounded by all of our friends from St Catharine's! It was a great way to finish our trip and we both ended on a buzz (although part of that may have been the combination of the loud Sweet Child of Mine rendition accompanied by plenty of San Miguel!).









So, we made the long flight back, 10 hours delayed, and are now battling with jet lag before launching into work next week. Lovely to see you all - we hope it isn't long until we catch up again!

Wow! You guys really did cram in so much on your trip to England! It's lovely to see all your photos (particularly of family and various places that I know so well!). It looks as though you had a fab time and managed to see everyone and do everything you had planned! I hope you're not both now feeling too exhausted now you're back in NZ?
