Emma Gibson & Michael Wilcox
August 23rd 1997

Tetbury is a lovely place, even in the rain. Which is just as well. Aware that most of my wedding reports read like a press release from the Met office, we shall say no more.

Emma works for a remarkable company called Funhouse in London. They work on designing products and promotions for children and it was this sense of fun, the esteeming of kids and a brilliant 'family' atmosphere that I remember about Emma and Michael's wedding day. Neither of them stopped smiling all day long and nor did most of the guests who were determined to have a jolly (sic) good time right from the start.

Remarkable floristry decorated the church, the marquee where the reception was held and the wedding party. Emma's bouquet was the most remarkable I have ever seen. There was a sense of style and design to the day that was carried through from the dresses to the rather delicious cake (only had one piece, honest!).

Some guests stayed in the marquee, some sat outside, some stood by the house. Michael and Emma visited them all.
