Preliminary wedding pictures.

Sort of in chronological  order with captions.
Thanks to those who sent me email pictures already.
My lighting was disappointing.

Thank goodness for the real photographer, whose pictures we can't wait to see!

Index page shows Raf behind curtain waiting for the ceremony to start.

As they posed for photographer, I captured their profile.

Don't they make a handsome and beautiful couple !

Thanks Sue for snapping this one.
