Italian storybook cover: Karen & Paul’s wedding was on New Year’s Eve: the best possible way to start married lifeĀ by entering into the New Year together with all their friends and family. The first we knew about it was when I (Elaine) received a phone call from France in 2008 – two years before this wedding – from the Mother of the Groom, lovely Linda, whom we had met at another couple’s wedding in Tenerife. Jorge and I had enjoyed videoing and photographing that wedding so were delighted to be chosen for Linda and Roy’s son’s wedding too. I didn’t even get to speak to the bride at that stage: she took us on trust, as she had a great bond with her future Mother-in -Law. They were looking for a special venue, but already knew the date the wanted. It took several months and loads of research before Karen & Paul settled on Thornton Manor for their wedding venue; and what a venue!
