| Andrew & Becky on their wedding day |
September 8th is a special day. Not only is it Andrew and Becky's wedding day, but it is my wife's birthday.
The day started with the ladies having an early morning trip to the hairdresser. Nice spruced up with fascinators in place they definitely stole the show at the wedding.
At lunchtime a group of us piled into a taxi and made our way to the Budapest Hilton where the wedding took place. It was a superb sunny day, not too hot, but full of excitement. We sat in the hotel lobby drinking coffee while people arrived.

| The Dominican Churchyard at the Budapest Hilton |
Before the wedding took place we went into the Dominican Churchyard and Courtyard where the wedding ceremony was to take place. It was beautiful and overlooked the Fishermen's Bastion and St. Matthias Church. The wedding ceremony was special and it was so moving to see Becky walk up the aisle looking radiant.

| That's me giving my address at the wedding |
The wedding vows were also very moving and I was privileged to give a short address ably translated into Hungarian. My address was a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13 - the famous passage by St. Paul on love.

| The Bridal Suite |
After the ceremony we had a glimpse of the bridle suite. Right on the top corner of the hotel, it has some of the most stunning views of Budapest the town affords.

| Relaxing at the wedding reception |
The reception was held in the Hilton's Corvina Suite. Fifty guests from all over Europe and other parts of the world enjoyed an excellent meal punctuated by speeches. It concluded with music and dancing.
