The Participants
The music was spectacular!!

We were very lucky to have so many members of the choir of First St. Andrew's able to sing for us on our wedding day --- and a good number of Dodingtons too!

The weather was perfect. A little on the cool side for some perhaps, but sunny - too bright even, as you can see from the squinting!
