Our first formal appearance of the season was on Saturday 17 April with the splendid wedding of John and Alison. This took place in the Grecian Temple at Stowe Landscape Gardens on a beautiful spring day, and was a truly memorable occasion for everyone there, not least John, Alison, Robert and Harrison. A silver wedding bus had been laid on to take guests from the hotel in Buckingham to the magnificent location of the gardens and the Temple for the ceremony, after which there was champagne and cake outside the temple while a jazz band played and the guests attempted to master some of the giant outdoor games provided. Later, there was a full reception back at the hotel in Buckingham, followed by a ceilidh with the Committee Band. This also featured a morris spot from BB, a singing spot from Alison’s group, and then another appearance of the BB Men in Black – they get everywhere. But a truly fabulous day throughout and much credit and many thanks to John and Alison for such a fabulous day, plus a little help from the weather gods….
