Rick & Sharon finally tied the knot on Saturday 17th November 2007. They married at the Chepstow Hotel in Wales, before flying off for a short honeymoon on Gran Canaria. The pictures below are not meant to be anything but a personal record of the event, so if you are not in them i'm sorry...and tough luck!

The Bride & Groom

The happy couple, Sharon & Courtney smile for the cameras.

The Chepstow Hotel

Mum and daughters.

Rick's mum Vicki with daughters Tracy & Steph.

Sharon and Tom Cruise Lookalike

Sharon and proud father Graham look on with concern as one of the guests trips over a young child.

The Wild Bunch.

Happy guests enjoying a lovely afternoon, but trouble was to flare later in the day when they were involved in a vicious knife fight at the reception

Tesco's Best bargains.

Amy & brother Sam looking happy as they make their way towards the bar. Two jolly Tesco employees about to splash out and spend their bonuses.

Granny.

Naomi, my wife (she with the 'bingo wings'), with grandchildren Morgan & Jessica. See the look of pain on Morgan's face as the fastening's on Naomi's corset digs into his back.

Laura and Hannah

Laura and Hannah look cool in their posh frocks, it won't be to long before Hannah will be 'the star' at one of these events. She is currently 'going out' with a pirate.

The Bridesmaids.

Laura, Rebecca and Hannah

getting ready for the big moment. Still dry eyed as this picture was taken before the wedding, you should have seen them after!

Rebecca

Rebecca looking cool as she poses for the camera.

Spot the thorn.

Getting ready for the big event Christopher

surrounds himself with the three witches

as he gets ready to steal the show.

Laura,Phil,Chris & Hannah.

Grandparents and Bridesmaids pose for the camera ( I was asked later by one of the guests who the three sisters were).

Best man Chris believes in getting them young as he explains the advantages of buying the new Clio for a small deposit of £139. It was one of the best 'best man' presentations I have ever seen.

The Fuzz

During the afternoon the event was subject to a police raid, they had been informed that there was a 'dope' at the celebration. After a quick search the father of the bride was dragged from the hotel.

Sam, Carol, Jessica and Morgan.

This picture of 'Charlie' has nothing to do with the wedding, but I just had to show you what a King Charles spaniel looks like with wings and a halo.

What more can be said.

Chewing the fat.

Guests enjoy a chat before the festivities.

The Registrar

I can't tell you the Registra's name, all I can say is she did a great job.

Can't back out now.

Rick slips the ring on Sharon's finger as an anxious best man looks on....will they notice he has lost the ring and substituted it with a Hoola-Hoop?

Aaaaaaaaaah

The deed is done, Sharon does what all wives do and

checks that Rick has brought his wallet.

Sign on the dotted line.

Just sign on the dotted line and pose for the cameras. (Are they both supposed to have their flowers on the left?)
