Milli + Chris’ Hindu Wedding at Home

I actually can’t think of anything more lovely than having a wedding at home in your garden; I was beside myself with excitement!  By this point we had papped Milli and Chris at their portrait shoot around Rivington, and the day before at their wedding at Thornton Manor – it was just like hanging out with friends.

Plus they have an adorable cat…

It was cool to see all the wedding aftermath – stuff from the day before all around the house 🙂

In true Milli and Chris form, the day they chose to do this was wet and windy!  Chris’ dad had a hard time keeping that marquee in place…

Chris wore…

Milli wore…

Milli was being adorned with henna…

Chris wasn’t allowed to see!

Today Milli’s uncle was conducting the ceremony, here he is preparing with a cup of tea 🙂

Amazing!

Everyone got into the spirit of things, Chris’ mum had henna done too!

Bridesmaid Lou gave them lots of macaroons the day before; Milli saved us some because she’s lovely 🙂

Chris looked amazing!

Time for Milli to get ready.  She chose these shoes at random from her wardrobe 🙂

Seriously beautiful…

So much laughter getting ready with her aunties (who were forcing her to put on more makeup!)…

Proud dad 🙂

Meanwhile downstairs Chris was learning Indian phrases…

The thing about henna is you can’t touch anything!

Time to get married (again!)…

Coats on. It was chilly!

Quite tricky getting around when you’re tied together!

Yum!

Here’s the evidence of who stole Chris’ shoes, which is apparently tradition…

Some street portraits in the rain…

Milli and Chris, hope you’re having an amazing honeymoon!  Thank you so much for everything – the tea, the macaroons, the giant pieces of cake and just being so nice to follow around for a few days! xxx
