Legally wed!

The civil ceremony was great! The registrar was very friendly and everyone (even the children) enjoyed it.

We almost cried, and most of the females there did.

Ron L. and Maria H. were our witnesses.

We are now officially (in the eyes of the law) married and are Mr and Mrs Bewsher!

This is only the beginning of our 12 days of celebration - well, not really ... more planning, planning, planning for the church wedding.

The family all met afterwards for lunch at the house.

A wonderful day!

God bless.

Adam and Kate Bewsher

Civil ceremony today!

In the UK, unless you get married in a Church of England church, you are required by law to have a civil ceremony – either as part of the service, or at some time before.  This is because a wedding performed in a religious institution other than the Church of England is not legally binding.  Because our church service is already looking to be quite long (with a Greek part and an English part), we have decided to have our civil ceremony before our church wedding.

Because we consider our marriage to be something instituted by God, we won’t consider ourselves married until after the church ceremony.

And so... without any further ado:

Adam and Kate are being “legally wed” today, in our civil ceremony!

These are the first steps in our week-and-a-half wedding (concluding on the 6^th of October)!

Update and new website launched

We are getting really close to being married! YAY! Only 2 weeks and 3 days until the church wedding!

The old website was a far too complicated and was hard to update with the latest news, so Adam’s been working hard to bring you this new version which we hope that you will like and find easy to use.

Under the menu on the right called “On Our Page” you should be able to see several items you can click on. These items take you around our site and will be the same on every page. You’ll eventually be able to see our Photo Gallery and some interesting information, but for now, the only two links take you to the main page and to this page (the blog news page - which you’ve already found of course!)

An update on the wedding preparations: Yesterday we made our final booking (the wedding cars) and now have everything “big” ready for the BIG day. Now we need to fill in all the little details [and write some speeches : Adam] and everything should be done... YAY

London is becoming colder as the lovely sunny weeks of summer become the still lovely but not quite so sunny autumn months.

More news as it comes.
