Well before I dive headfirst into my bucket of Christmas Baileys, here’s a rare phenomenon (for 2020 at least!) It’s only a bloody wedding!

Jonny and Lowri were bridesmaid’s-other-half and busy-bridesmaid to Lowri’s sister Sara last year so when Lowri got in touch to ask if I could dust off the cameras I was on it like a car bonnet.

Jonny and Lowri married at the beautiful Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Rock, Worcestershire and having originally planned a celebration at Rock Village Hall nearby, Covid had other plans for our couple. Downsizing meant a short search for a new venue which ended at the literal front door of their wedding caterers:

Paisley Flour are superb caterers (I knew this bit already!) but I had yet to see their ‘office’ tucked away on an unassuming industrial estate in rural Worcestershire. It’s a genuine hidden gem, and for those looking to celebrate a smaller wedding with maybe 30 guests or fewer, I would struggle to suggest anywhere better.

This year has been a shocker of a shit show for everyone everywhere and seeing people find a way to carry on, have a beautful marriage ceremony with their closest (allowed) family and friends and celebrate meaningfully is and always will be an utter joy.

As we approach a quieter, smaller Christmas than usual this year, bolster yourselves with the knowledge that whilst there are better times on the way, there are still wonderful times to be had while we wait…

Right. Enough of that! this Bailey’s won’t drink itself.

Happy Christmas :) x
