Embracing the British Summer


Rose & Tim's wedding celebrations started the night before with guests arriving at Ash Barton to enjoy some fabulous food in the evening sunshine. Next morning the Estate was a hive of activity or breakfast, preparations and some incredible henna tattoos.


The venue has a stunning setting for an outdoor wedding (see the picture at the top) and the morning of the wedding rain showers were forecast. Fingers and toes were crossed, the rain persisted and, undaunted, Rose & Tim tied their knot outside embracing the moment. There is old saying that getting married in the rain is a good sign as wet knots are much harder to untie, Rose & Tim's knot will be as solid as they come then.


The showers did ease in the afternoon but Rose, Tim, their family and friends had already proved nothing was going to dampen their spirits.
