Paul and I arranged a whirlwind wedding on Beach in Hawaii with two friends who had flown over as witnesses. It was a gloriously beautiful day with Trent participating in the vows we made while dressed in native sarongs, grass skirts and coconut shells! Paul's Parent's did not quite approve of this look for our wedding photo on their mantlepiece and arranged for a more formal wedding reception on our return to the UK in early December with friends and family! Double wedding!
