Almost Legally Married (1)

The vicar allowed everyone to take pictures after the formal bit, but did point out that Nu and Mark were almost married - they still had to sign the register, so could pull out if they wanted.

The Cake

It was a chocolate cake. Hmmmm, chocolate.

Nu has just received good wishes from her family members. At the same time, they tie these little chimes to her wrists. They may look huge, but you're actually looking at a lot of little chimes all connected together.

I think this is a sign of good luck and wishing prosperity on someone. This chap did it a couple of times through the evening on his way to tipping someone. This tip when to one of the drummers.
