OCTOBER 5TH, 2002 - OUR WEDDING!

On October 5th, 2002, in our tenth year together, Derek and I were married!  We were married in a pretty, intimate chapel by London City Hall called The Wedding Chambers in a non-denominational ceremony filled with kind words, a brief prayer, and beautiful poetry.  We had about thirty guests; my girlfriend of ten years, Bonnie Kerr, was my maid of honour and my Dad, George Weston, served as Derek's best man.  The day dawned overcast and drizzly but by the time of our wedding, it was a perfect, warm autumn day.

Following the ceremony, we all came back to our place for a garden party, pictures, and gifts.  Then we went for a WONDERFUL supper in the atrium at Chaucer's Restaurant & Pub in downtown London.

A very simple, but very pleasant day for all.  Here are the pics!
