Farnham Castle Wedding - Kelly and Alan

Kelly and Alan had an English Castle wedding with a Scottish twist, and it was as good as it sounds! Farnham Castle overlooks the market town of Farnham in Surrey oozing in historic charm and elegance. The castle interior has been renovated to provide 21st century sophistication within an authentic setting. There is a fantastic bridal room in the Gatehouse where the bride Kelly and her bridesmaids were able to relax and get ready for the big day. While the groom Alan arrived in style with his son and best man, parking his Ferrari right outside the castle, surely every man’s dream!…(though the car was on hire). Alan and his son along with many of the Scottish guests were donned in traditional kilts, and I have to say I love a bit of tartan! It was a beautiful spring morning and blue sky had everyone is a great mood, though the Scottish contingent really didn’t need any encouragement. The ceremony was held in the Lantern Hall which is a bright natural room with lancet windows, perfect for the exchange of vows. Lead by her adorable young bridesmaids Kelly looked absolutely beautiful as she walked down the aisle on her farther’s arm. Just as the newlyweds were about to make their walk up the aisle the unmistakable sound of bagpipes filled the room and in entered a Scottish piper to escort the new Mr & Mrs. As the guests lined the steps down to the lawn the full pipe band had gathered ready for the bride and groom and it certainly was an entrance! The band continued to entertain the guests on the castle lawn and it was a magnificent sight and sound setting the tone for the day. Inside the castle the wedding breakfast was held in the 12th Century Great Hall where Kings and Queens have dinned over the years. And Kelly and Alan were certainly King & Queen for the day as they entered to great applause and more fantastic sounds from the pipe band. Onto the speeches which were filled with love, laughter, tears and a few raucous cheers from some of the more lively guests. And the fun continued from there as they partied away into the night. I absolutely loved this Farnham Castle wedding and more so seeing the true happiness and love of Kelly and Alan. Massive congratulations to the King & Queen of Farnham Castle!
