bitospud: Posing in our nine-year-old wedding outfits in the Queen Elizabeth Hall roof garden
bitospud: In our wedding outfits in front of the Royal Festival Hall, London Eye and Big Ben
bitospud: At the top of the stairs to the roof garden, which go nicely with the yellow bits of my tie in the absence of my rose buttonhole from nine years ago :)
bitospud: Hey, what's that inflatable church over there by the Hayward Gallery...?
bitospud: The Wedding Olympics, featuring games involving kisses, carrying trays of drinks and various other wedding-related fun :)
bitospud: Wedding parties enjoying post-ceremony drinks in the Level 4 Blue Bar in the Royal Festival Hall were looking down on the Wedding Olympics outside
bitospud: Inflatable church! Well, we had come in our wedding outfits - maybe we should get married here, eh?
bitospud: Pretty impressive inflatable structure, this church.
bitospud: The pre-ceremony removal of the wedding rings - handed to our all-in-one Best Man and Bridesmaid, Harri
bitospud: Harri dons the necessary accoutrements for bridesmaiding
bitospud: Bride Edith and Best Man/Bridesmaid Harri wait outside the inflatable church for their grand entrance
bitospud: Paul waits by the altar in the inflatable church
bitospud: The light through one of the inflatable church's stained-plastic windows hits the floor
bitospud: The pianist and bass player get into position (and chat to some friends)
bitospud: It really was an impressive inflatable structure - here are some inflatable beams under the inflatable steeple
bitospud: Lloyd and the rest of the congregation join in a rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow as we await the arrival of the bride
bitospud: Paul looks a bit worried - will Edith really enter the inflatable church and marry him? :)
bitospud: Here comes the bride!
bitospud: The bridesmaids: Harri and the producer of Southbank Centre's Festival of Love!
bitospud: The vicar was quite hands-on. And very fond of innuendo :)
bitospud: Harri takes her place at the front of the inflatable church, ready to hand over the rings
bitospud: I imagine the vicar had just said something wildly inappropriate at this point :)
bitospud: I think we were doing some sort of vows at this point. Awful wedded husband, that kind of thing :)
bitospud: A round of applause for Harri for not losing the rings, or something :)
bitospud: Rings on standby!
bitospud: Rings in place!
bitospud: Just like the end of our real wedding (bit less emotional tbh)
bitospud: Then out through a tunnel of wedding guests :)
bitospud: Everyone at our inflatable wedding poses for a big group photo :)
bitospud: Signing the very official-looking marriage certificate :)
