Victoria and Mehmet's beautiful wedding Curzon Hall

On a hot day in December, Mehmet and Victoria wed in the garden at Curzon Hall .It's a stunning setting with lovely gardens and the reception hall is in the wonderfully romantic, old world, stone "castle".

Victoria had themed her flowers and bridesmaids dresses in shades of purple and the decorations for the ceremony rotunda were chosen to complement the theme.

Victoria's gown was just exquisite and Mehmet and his groomsmen looked very handsome indeed.
Victoria's family came from England to share in this couple's joy on their wedding day and Mehmet's Australian Turkish family were so happy and proud.They had a candle lighting ceremony to represent the joining of their two separate lives, through their marriage, into one.

It was such a joy to work with this delightful couple and to meet some of their family and friends. I wish them much love and happiness for their life together.  Mehmet's sister read  this lovely reading about marriage.

In the art of Marriage the little things are the big things –

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say ‘I love you.’ at least once a day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is standing together to face the world.

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying the right partner –

It is being the right partner.      (by Wilferd Peterson)
