Here is the whole reason we went to England Julia's wedding (Julia is Will's younger sister)! She married a very nice man named Matt so the girls have a new uncle now! He happens to be from England were he grew up in a town named Shoreham-by-Sea which is where we stayed.
It was a beautiful day with fairly clear skies though it was chilly. They were married in a church that dates back to about the 9th century AD during the Saxon Pre Norman Conquest time period. The church has a long history of changes and additions to it as with each new conquest things were changed by the new owners. It is know as St Nicolas Church Old Shoreham.
The day was quite nice. After the marriage ceremony photos where taken. Then we all went to the reception hall, a 20 minute drive into the country side. We waited a little while for photos to be taken and then went on to have a lovely dinner at the hall. There were games to play while we waited for dinner and during the whole night. Elsie found a friend and played giant Janga with him. There was also Skittles (a British bowling game), giant Connect Four and Corn Hole outside. Elsie and her friend spent most of the night playing in the photo booth and running around the hall chasing each other. It was a fun day!
