          | Friday 21st July - reception at the Chaucer 
            Hotel |  | Download times... |   
          | After the wedding ceremony at Eastwell Manor in Boughton Lees, near Ashford, we drove 
            back to Canterbury for our reception. Everyone relaxed in the bar while we took a few more photographs and then we went 
            through for the meal. Stringendo played through the meal and really made the atmosphere. Then after a few speeches the 
            evening reception and disco began, and a lot more people arrived to celebrate into the night. I discovered Vodka Red Bull 
            in my efforts to stay reasonably sober while enjoying a few drinks, and I can heartily recommend it to prospective grooms! |  | Please note that in order to present large, high-quality pictures, this page may take
