Dress Fitting with Joyce x.jpg (19045 bytes) I tried on lots of different Wedding dresses but never found "the one".

So I took the bits that I liked best and got my Mum to design a dress.

She also made the veil, cravats for the Best man & Groom and a wrap for the Bridesmaid's dress.

She broke her ankle 6 weeks before the Wedding and only had her cast off the day before!

Her dress is by Alfred Angelo and was bought from Margaret's of Armthorpe, Doncaster.

Photographs were taken by

Maurice Hart of Doncaster.

He first took my photo when I was 3.....28 years earlier!

Videography was done by Abbey Video of Harrogate.

Our major mishap of the day was the cars not turning up. One car broke down on the M62 and the other got lost.

Our next door neighbour Michelle, came to our rescue and delivered me to the church in the pea-green Renault Scenic!

I was only half an hour late!
