Will & Helen Benedikz

Before We Begin...

Before we let you get to the pictures there are some 'Thank Yous' we need acknowledge:

Mum & Dad B - for understanding, patience and wonderful bridesmaids' dresses (see photos later)
Mum & Vic - for a lot of the legwork when we were busy
Alan & John - my Bestmen who discharged their duties with suitable style, oh, and a fantastic speech
Lisa, Jude and Kennedy - the Beautiful Bridesmaids
Colin Myles and Jim Lockhart - for remaining calm when the Groom wasn't
Ann Paraskos, Sam Ellis, Pauline Williams, Will Lartey and Ian Driffield - friends indeed
Grandad, Nana Betty and Madge
All the others, who helped out in so many different ways both beforehand and throughout the day.

The Big Day - Sunday 23 June 2002

So after months of planning, during which time seemed to fly by, suddenly there we were at the big day... Sunday 23 June 2002.

	An early start was never likely for Kennedy.		Although Lisa and Jude were up a slow start was inevitable.
The bride made an appearance but wasn't going rush for anyone.		Then Ann arrived armed with modern torture instruments - curlers and bobby pins!
	Time for reflect for the brides' fathers: Keith (l) and Vic.		Big Will, relaxed as ever, caused a stir by disappearing for food 10mins before the car was due to leave.
The wedding car: a MkII Bentley		The groom and best men arrive at The Pavilions (l-r Alan, Will, John & Grandad)
	Colin the Usher acts as a calming influence during the wait for the bride.		Alan, Will & John - calm and ready for action.
Helen makes her arrival.		Accompanied by Lisa, Kennedy and Jude.
