Rowan and Carl’s wedding up near the Lakes in the beautiful English countryside was a real creative day. This was a wedding of two halves; firstly the guys went over to the local registry office in Grange-over-Sands to do the official wedding bit, then came to Castle Head and did the whole thing again for their guests.  You could tell that this couple’s life is one of art and theatre; Carl treading the boards in Liverpool and Rowan an artist, creating street theatre puppets amongst other things.  Everything from the bunting to the homemade picnics, in beautiful old baskets; gave a real vintage wedding feeling to the day. The ceremony was fantastic with stories of how the happy couple met, readings and poems written specifically for them; and guests singing songs in celebration. The culmination of the ceremony was a tying of the knot… literally. All the guests brought along ribbons which they were invited to tie around the bride and groom’s hands to show they were now man and wife.

I’m sure you will agree from the pictures; that it really was a special day.
