This Easter weekend was very special for the family because our son Richard married his partner Emily after some five years together. The wedding took place at the Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel<\/a> (‘cwrt’ means court and ‘Bleddyn’ was a Welsh prince) in South Wales.
\nIt was a wonderful occasion with 122 guests from as far away as Montreal (where Emily was brought up), Vancouver, New York and Los Angeles. Richard entered the room to the main theme from “Gladiator”, Emily appeared accompanied by the Princess Leia theme from “Star Wars”, and at the end the two of them left the room to the triumphal march from the conclusion of “Star Wars”.
\nFortunately the rain held off but the weather was literally freezing and at one point there was even a flurry of snow. However, this did not stop photographs being taken in the hotel grounds. Terrific speeches were made by Emily’s father David, Richard, Emily and best man Doug respectively – a total of 43 hilarious minutes (there was a sweepstake). The dancing was started by Richard and Emily who had trained to accompany the James Bond theme tune “Nobody does it better”. Later there was even a fireworks display.
\nTruly it was a fabulous occasion.<\/p>\n
