ROB & CARRIE-LOU
A VERY BIZZARE BUT SUPER COOL WEDDING AT QUANTOCK LODGE, SOMERSET
I’M NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN WITH ROB AND CARRIE-LOU’S WEDDING. JUST SO, SO BIZARRE IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY.
FIRSTLY, THE VENUE; QUANTOCK LODGE. NOT EVEN A WEDDING VENUE! MORE A GOTHIC 19TH CENTURY BUILDING WHICH WAS A SCHOOL IN A PREVIOUS INCARNATION (YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT ON WIKI HERE).
SECONDLY, IT’S A PLACE WHICH HASN’T BEEN DECORATED IN LITERALLY 50 YEARS. IT’S THE KIND OF PLACE WHERE ECCENTRIC PEOPLE WHO COME FROM OLD MONEY (USUALLY ELDERLY) DON’T REALLY GIVE A CRAP ABOUT LOOKING COOL RESIDE. YOU KNOW THE TYPE I’M TALKING ABOUT - THE ONES WHO HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE TO KEEP UP APPEARANCES WITH ANYONE. JUST A MASS HOARDERS OF RANDOM JUNK (IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE VISUALISING WHAT I MEAN, THERE ARE SOME PICS BELOW).
…AND THIRDLY, EVERYONE DISAPPEARED AFTER THE WEDDING BREAKFAST TO THEIR ROOMS AND SUDDENLY REMERGED IN FULL Labyrinth FANCY DRESS.
I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. BIZARRE IS GOOD AND I LOVE IT WHEN COUPLE’S HAVE IDEAS OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. WHEN I TURNED UP, ROB AND CARRIE-LOU SAID ‘YEAH, JUST EXPERIMENT AND DO WHAT YOU WANT!’
I LOVED IT HOW EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE, WITH EXCEPTION TO THE CATERERS MUCKED IN AND HELPED OUT - WHERE THE VISION CAME FROM I HAVE NO IDEA, THIS WAS THE EPTIOME OF A DIY WEDDING AND EVERYTHING WORKED.
TO BE HONEST, I DON’T FEEL I’M DOING A VERY GOOD JOB IN ARTICULATING HOW IT WAS SO I’LL STOP TYPING AND LET YOU HAVE A BROWSE THROUGH THE PHOTOS.
MASSIVE, MASSIVE PROPS TO ROB AND CARRIE-LOU - THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME A PART OF IT ALL!
