Lake District, UK: Rydal

Rydal - good.
Wedding at Rydal - better.
My friend's wedding at Rydal - best! 

Many thanks for having me, M&J! For me, everything went perfect (the bride was chill, as usual). We just had a small scare about the weather (it rained the day before and the lines were down). Planning can only take you so far, the rest is up to chance. And chance was kind that day.

The house was huge with rooms for guest and an annex for the family that runs the place. The outdoor space was also huge. They have at least two dogs and you wouldn't even realise. When I first saw the invite, I couldn't fathom how a wedding could take a full day. Now I can. And it wasn't overkill in any way - it's the perfect social event - lawn games, food, drinks, march-in, cake, mingling, music, dance, catch-up, touching moments, photos...

There are three rooms for guests. Here's mine and J's!

The English breakfast at the house. I never liked bacon and tomatoes, until I tried this.
Crispy bacon tends to be dry and salty. This is anything but that.

The wedding

It takes some getting used to being present in the moment and appreciating the finer things in life. Transient and beautiful it is.

Don't give me those eyes! It's hard to leave as it is.
