zinc Group: Members Posts: 99 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: April 26 2008, 04:38 Dear All, Just had to tell everyone now that I am back from my honey moon in the Maldives that I had an amazing wedding held at Penrhos Court on April 5th. It was the perfect venue in so many ways and the staff including Martin Griffiths were brilliant. The day began with my wife, our little boy Josh and I in our walking gear going up Hergest Ridge and we have some lovely photos of the trip. Then back for the service in the main hall at 12 and wedding beakfast ite Cruck Hall at 3ish. We had a party with live band in the Byre which is a barn on the otherside to the main house. Load of our family and firnds said how incredible Penrhos Court was and will come and stay for weekends. Martin placed 20 burning lanterns around the pond in the evening just at dusk which made it ever so romantic. If anyone is thinking where to hold a wedding you can't beat Penrhos Court- the food was simply amazing as you would expect. Just as an aside when we were out in the Maldives last week we went to see a movie in the hotel about diving and the entire soundtrack was songs of distant earth! Back to top

Congratulations to  Mr and Mrs Zinc. I agree with Sweetpea, about what a beautiful sight that must have been.  I love sitting by water. I could picture being i n such a setting with my most wonderful boyfriend   .  Yep underneath  all that testosterone ( in both of us) there's a more romantic side. Zinc did you have the ceremony at Penrhos Court itself??, as I gather many hotels etc now have licences to perform wedding/civil partnership ceremonies. Oh yeah just 'cause I'm asking doesn't mean that I've any plans  for (tubular) wedding bells, (or at least not yet) I think living together is as valid .  I'm so  happy that this Piltdown Woman has  found her Piltdown Man         .  Yep love creeps up on you when you least expect it. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

zinc Group: Members Posts: 99 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: April 27 2008, 06:47 yes penrhos is fully licensed to hold marriage services so we used the Elozabethan Room, that s the room o the far right for the actual service and the wedding breakfast in the large Cruck Hall. I have some photos if someone can advise me how to upload them here as I can't see to do it myself. Cheers Zinc Back to top

zinc Group: Members Posts: 99 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: April 28 2008, 07:54 Hey thanks guys for all the kind words. It was truly wonderful. On the sunday after the wedding it suddenly snowed really hard and Penrhos looked even more magical! Anyone know how I can upload images on this message.? Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: April 28 2008, 16:10 zinc, if this were one of the 'Photo Gallery' forums, you could attach an image file directly from your computer, I believe. If you want to do it that way, you could make a new topic for your Penrhos wedding pictures in the 'Miscellaneous' section of the 'Photo Gallery'. I understand it can take some hours before they are viewable, though? If you already have your pictures uploaded to an image-hosting service, you could add them here by clicking the 'Image' button, then pasting the URL into the pop-up window and clicking 'OK'. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?
