Ellen
& Ben

Don't apologise for the weather in February.

Carriage Hall in the rain has a quality to it that summer venues never quite manage. Candlelight means more, the room feels closer, and everyone arrives slightly wind-swept and immediately happy to be inside. The ring bearer was a sausage dog who took his responsibilities very seriously. The dancefloor at the end of the night told you everything you needed to know about these two and the people they had chosen to be there.
