Wedding

We got back from Hazel and Alex's wedding very late (about 0300), and--predictably--slept in. Today's a day for pottering, so we've ambled round the garden and admired the spring bulbs, and watched TV. Very decadent.

The wedding went really well: the ceremony was nice, and the reception appeared to be thoroughly enjoyed. Hazel and Alex looked great, and the photographer appeared to be doing a good job. I loved an opportunity to dress up (a black morning tailcoat, traditional black/grey/white striped trousers, a purple/lilac patterned waistcoat, and purple cravat/pocketsquare), and I think the toast was well received. Alex's mother produced a really excellent cake, too, which was very pretty.

The standard of dancing was incredibly high, as Alex and Hazel, and a lot of their friends, are keen ball-room dancers, so the first dance was--in a literal sense--awesome.

They're off to Scotland for their honeymoon: hopefully I'll be able to admire some photos when they're back.
