Today was Selina and Grahams wedding.  It was a lovely hot day, and she looked beautiful in her silver gothic dress and shoes.  Selina and I arrived at the registry office in plenty of time, completed the formalities and entered the wedding chamber at 13.30.

Soon she and Graham were man and wife.

Now it was back to the house where we toasted the bride and groom, and then ate a small lunch of quiche and sausage roles.  Present were close family and friends from afar.  We managed a small Blasdale cricket match.  The wicket was a bit rough and hard, causing the ball to bounce rather erratically.

Now it was on to the main event at the Buckinghamshire railway centre.  Here we had the covered railway station until midnight, and we had a locomotive and rolling stock in steam.  So there were plenty of train rides and the opportunity to ride on the locomotive, blow the whistle and control the engine under the watchful eye of the engine driver.

The meal was supposed to start at around 8.00, but started a little later for one reason or another.  Excellent meal put on by the Plough and Anchor.  Started with melon and summer fruits, then on to salmon with oysters and prawns, beef, chicken and a vegetarian Thai curry.  The afters were the excellent tiered chocolate cake made by Rosemary and several British cheeses.

A band called Brimstone started to play some seventies rock music.  They played ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, AC DC,  Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and by special request White Wedding by Billy Idol.  I thought they were very good, and so did most of the others at the party.

John and Carol Curd took the official photographs for the wedding.  These will be appearing on the website soon.
