Wedding Ceremony

Our ceremony is scheduled for 1pm....please arrive 45 minutes before the ceremony starts, so that we can make sure that everyone is on time and seated.
Then we can get the nerve-racking part over with, and get the PARTY started.

Wedding Breakfast

You can let us know your menu choices online when you RSVP, by clicking on the guest area button at the bottom of this page and login using the unique code found on your invitation.
Or if you prefer to RSVP by post, please tick your choices on the menu card and pop it back in the post to us ASAP.
Please get your menu choices back to us by the 28th May, at the very latest, and make sure we know of any allergies or dietary requirements you may have.
We have chosen a vegetarian starter and main, as well as meat/fish dishes. And all meals (except the vegetarian pasta) can be adapted to be gluten free.

Evening Celebration

PARTY TIME!!!
Evening guests arrive from 7pm.
The cake will be cut around 7.30pm, followed by our first dance, then we can all boogie on down and dance the night away :)

Children

Due to the sheer amount of young children on both sides of our families, number restrictions at the venue, and our budget, we can not accommodate children at our wedding (with the exception of older children who are part of the wedding party, or visiting from another country).

We hope that you understand our decision to make our wedding child-free, and that you can come along and take the opportunity to let your hair down, relax and celebrate with us without worrying about little ones.

Gifts

The RaeJim Pot of Dreams

We do not have a wedding list,
Nor a request for certain things.
All we want is your company,
And the memories the day brings.
But we've been asked a few times now,
For things we'd like or need.
So we had a think and somehow
We finally agreed.....
The gift of money would be lovely,
And appreciated by us.
But please do not feel pressured,
As this really is not a must.
It will go towards our Honeymoon,
A Kenyan safari and beach.
Or a future home of our own,
Which seems so out of reach!
The choice is totally up to you,
And we would like to say,
We hope you just come to enjoy yourselves,
And have an amazing day.
