Matt and Emma's Wedding, Quendon, Essex - 7th November 2008

It's a Friday wedding, so a half-day holiday is taken for the short trip down to Essex, near Stansted, for Matt and Emma's wedding. We have special dispensation to bring Fred - on account of him being only six weeks old - as he's lashed down to his basinette and can't run around the place terrorising the other guests, in what is an otherwise sprog-free wedding.
