Considering that this was a small, low-key wedding, I wasn't expecting anything special, but when Laima arrived - a breathtaking vision in flowing white - I knew we were going to have a great morning.
Laima is certainly going to be a candidate for Beautiful Bride of 2017....
Sometimes Registry Office weddings can be overly-serious affairs, with the Registrars themselves seeming a little bit aloof and officious - but today they were friendly and helpful, and pitched in whole-heartedly with the proceedings, to the extent of helping occupy Laima's son whilst I took a few photographs of the couple with the register.
I would really like to say a big thankyou to the Registrars, because it was a small wedding with only a few guests, and they really turned it into a friendly family affair.
Once outside, we were spoiled for choice for photos - the morning was warm and sunny, and there weren't too many passers-by to get in the way.
We wish Laima and Simon every happiness in the future.
