The Nightmare Before Christmas!
That was the theme of Jo & Dans wedding at the Ramada Birmingham in Sutton Coldfield I hasten to add & great fun it was too 🙂
The day started at Jo’s family in Erdington & it was certainly a houseful but everybody was making the most of the morning & enjoying the preparations for the big day whilst ignoring the fact that it was pouring with rain outside!
Happily the deluge stopped & I headed the short distance to the lovely setting of the Ramada Hotel in leafy Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield to meet up with Dan & the guests. Dan’s Yorkshire roots were given away by the number of flat caps present although whippets were conspicuous by their absence 😉
The lovely burble of a V8 engine heralded Jo’s arrival in a lovely Ford Pilot & after a few quick photos we headed in to the welcoming warmth of the hotel for a ceremony conducted in a very friendly & high spirited manner by the Birmingham registrars.
With the rain just about holding off we grabbed a few photos outdoors before the evening light deserted us & it was time for the wedding breakfast & very enjoyable speeches.
The gap before first dance gave us chance for a few more phots in the hotel before Jo & Dan took to the dance floor for their first dance which was followed by a wonderfully touching 2nd Dance with Jo & her Dad.
