Shelley + Dave

Shelley and Dave got married last weekend at Mitton Hall in Whalley. It is not often we go south, probably because we are so near so many amazing venue in the Lake District. First wedding in our new car - our rather swanky Aqua Blue Hyundai i30 (which I am sure looks like a BMW if you squint!). It felt rather good to swing into the car park of the Mitton Hall in a proper vehicle - I loved my purple Rover, but was beginning to feel a bit like a character out of The Young Ones (the 80’s comedy not Cliff Richard film). Note the way I always reference my cars by their colour? If I were a boy, I would know the engine size and who produced the subframe… totally irrelevant when you are a girl. Shelley and Dave love rallying, so I feel justified discussing cars in this post.

Saturday was a day of Daves - Dave married Shelley, Uncle Dave gave Shelley away and Dave was the legendary emcee at the Mitton. It was another gorgeous day for sure. Shelley and Dave weren’t going to have a wedding film, but this was a wedding gift to them from a couple of friends who were unable to attend. I think that wedding films for many people are something that they wish they had had, but that only dawns on them after the event. So, Shelley and Dave are in a win/win situation. I know I may be biased, but I think that a making a wedding present of a wedding film is a lovely idea you are giving someone the memory of the day forever and ever - when you think about it like that, it’s just a massive thing.
