We were married on Saturday, 17th September 2005 at Sprowston Manor Hotel, Norwich at 1pm.
Below is a photo of everyone at our wedding (click on it for a full size version, 1.7MB) or click here for a selection of photos from the day.
[Our photographer was Bob Thompson]
We left for our honeymoon on the
Sunday morning after the wedding. We started out by flying from London,
Heathrow to Chicago. After spening three nights in Downtown Chicago
(visiting Ruth's Chris steak house one night and seeing U2 at the
United Center) we
flew onto Seattle, WA, that's where the driving began.
After 2 nights in Seattle we drove down the I-5 though the states of
Washington, Oregon and stopped for the first night at Weed, California
in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. Continuing south we stopped for 2 nights
in South Lake Tahoe, and another two in the heart of Yosemite National
Park. From the piece and queit of the national park we went onto the
hustle-and-bustle of Las Vegas!! We stayed in the Mirage for 3 nights,
before driving to the south rim of the Grand Canyon via the Hoover Dam.
After an early morning flight over the canyon, we continued east and
followed an anti-clockwise trip around the Grand Canyon. After a day of
driving around the canyon, we stopped for our final night in St.
George, Utah. The following day we completed the round trip and
returned to Las Vegas for our flight home via Los Angeles.
A selection of the photos from the trip can be found for the following
places: Chicago, Seattle, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National
Park, Las
Vegas and Hoover
Dam & Grand Canyon.
