The wedding was held at St. Nicholes Church in the village of Compton.

St. Nicholes Church represents 900 years of history, and contains relics of an even earlier age, for in the structure of the tower can be seen pieces of Roman tiles salvaged from ruined buildings after the occupation.

The church Rector would not allow guests to take photos of the wedding held inside the church.

- So we only got a few pictures of guests hanging around outside.

The reception is held here at Loseley House in Compton.

The gardens surrounding the Loseley House estate.

The newlyweds arrive.

MAYBE NOBODY WILL NOTICE IF WE BORROW THEIR CAR FOR AWHILE. (??)

Family pictures.

Dinner and a speech.

Time for a little celtic folk dancing.

Later in the evening - hot air balloons are sent into the night sky.

After the wedding we head south to Portsmouth where we board the car ferry to the Isle of wight.

This is the Harbour View Hotel where we stayed.

We were only going to stay one night but were so pleased with the area and accomodations that we ended up staying three days.

Bob and Esme Williamson are the hotel landlords.

Exploring takes us to some interesting places.
