Beth and James' wedding

I'm embarrassed by how long it has taken me to get this post together.  Work is insane, Annie is a handful, and sleep is lacking.  But today the temperature hit nearly 60 degrees and it was gorgeously sunny, so all is well with the world.

Now, on to more important things - Beth and James' wedding! Beth and James were married December 28th in the coolest place in the Yorkshire Dales - The Angel Inn.  The ceremony was in the wine cave - an intimate little cellar, all lit with candles, and the reception was in the pub.  The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was great fun!  The food was absolutely marvelous...I hear the Angel Inn was one of the first pubs to start the "gastro-pub" movement. 

Beth was, as always, completely gorgeous, calm and composed.  James was, as always, the life of the party...though he managed to keep his face out of the cake, unlike at our wedding. :)

Here is the happy couple, late in the evening. 

Cake cutting! 

I love this photo, such a sweet moment!

Grannie (now Great-Grannie to Millie and Annie), partied late into the evening.  I think I was ready for bed before she was!

Showing proper British composure, this was the pose struck when I requested the Coopers give us a smooch for the camera.   Having already lost my composure by coming completely unglued while giving a reading during the ceremony, I apparently thought nothing of requesting my in-laws "give us a smooch." 

And finally, coming soon to a dance floor near you, "The Crawl."  Toby claims this was some sort of baby-protection move, but I was there, it was most assuredly an attempt at a new dance move. 

A fabulous time was had by all!
