| Welcome to Sarah
& Tony's Pagan Handfasting Wedding Website.
Firstly we would like to thank everyone who participated
and attended the wedding. Also those who couldn't make it but
we knew were with us in spirit.
The day was so beautiful, we couldn't have asked
for more. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. The only hiccup
was that in the days leading up to it, there were storms and the
beach was therefore littered with rubbish and debris. My darling
sister Simone offered to rack the ceremony end of the beach in
the morning. Of which she did a wonderful job and racked our spot
into a beautiful love heart. It was so nicely done that when Jim
went to set up the magickal circle there were 100 other people
enjoying that spot. A decision was made to move to the other end
of the beach, which in hindsight was a better option with the
cliff face as a back drop.
The ceremony went without a hitch, followed by photos
on the beach. The bridal party was the last to leave and as we
were running a bit early and keen for a drink, descended on the
nearest pub for a quick wetting of the lips.
Jim was a fantastic MC, so natural and confident.
Events would not have gone as smoothly if it wasn't for his support
and organisation. The speeches were a roaring success despite
previous nerves and were ceremoniously starting with Dad who lost
his notes and Mum coming to the rescue to find them. It's amazing
how comfortable you become with a microphone after a short time
and a few glasses of champers :) !
After a most beautiful meal, dancing commenced with
a few of our favourite tracks followed by some old classic rock'n'roll.
It was great to see everyone on the dance floor, especially a
few favourites. Tony's Nan Renee had a full dance card and was
hard to keep up with. I think though that Dad was the hit of the
dance floor with his high spirits and unbuttoned shirt.
The night rounded off with the classical garter
and flower throwing. My sister-in-law to be Sar had a definite
height advantage and it was no surprise when my brother Jim made
them the winning pair. Need I say more.
Special thanks go to my beautiful bridesmaids, Kat,
Rach & Mel for all their help with helping to organise and
set-up such a wonderful day and their sympathic ears when I was
stressing over the arrangements. To Sean, the best man for getting
Tony to the beach on time, keeping the rings safe and a wonderful
speech. Our parents for their support and love. Our families for
being there for us and our friends for making it a brilliant night.
Thanks to everyone for making the trip over, whether near or far.
In Loving Marital Bliss
Sare & Tone
