The wedding

Q. What was your plan for your DIY wedding weekend.
A. We wanted all our family and friends to have a get together the Friday evening so everybody knew each other we had a Chinese and a few drinks. The next day we had the ceremony at 2pm afterwards we had a buffet by a company we saw at Clumber park food and drink festival. Then the pictures were taken we all had a few drinks while the disco was set up. We had a fish and chip van and an ice cream cart for the evening which went down well and no washing any pots. On the Sunday, we had a chilled-out day and hired a hog roast from the same company that did our buffet.
