Bolton Abbey

Part 01 of Wenisa & Simon’s wedding at The Devonshire Arms was fairly typical of a wedding day; a couple get ready separately, followed by a ceremony, followed by some form of drinks reception, followed by a meal followed by a hike…a 9 mile hike.

But I’m getting ahead of myself, – ‘The Hike’ will have to wait until Part 02 of this post as there are too many pictures I simply couldn’t leave out.

The day started rather dull, foggy and grey and the forecast although dry, didn’t appear to be anything special, but in fact turned out to be another warm and sunny day.

After a ceremony in The Cavendish Room, a drinks reception was held outside followed by lunch and speeches in what I call ‘the conservatory’ (and I shall look up exactly what it’s called, but it’s a very nice room).

Following on from Part 01 of Wenisa & Simon’s Bolton Abbey wedding, ‘The Hike’.

So a 9 mile hike from The Devonshire Arms up past Bolton Abbey along the River Wharfe to the area known as ‘The Strid’ and around in a loop back to The Dev.

Everyone did get changed into shorts and specially printed t-shirts for the jaunt, all that is except me who went on it slightly better dressed and at twice the speed as everyone else as I needed to get ahead, stay behind, photograph the walkers, photograph the landscape… to quote the youth of today, it was ‘epic’. Warm anyway…

After ‘The Hike’, it was all change for an evening meal and live band, ‘The Sweet & Lowdown‘ all the way from Brighton.

Wenisa & Simon then went off on honeymoon to Northumberland and Scotland before returning to their home country of Malaysia.
