Beryl and Terry's Wedding Bash in Bolton

On Saturday 30th July Beryl Clark and Terrence Coleman got married after 17 years of living together. It was a wodnerful weekend of celebration culminating with the wedding ceremony and breakfast at the Bolton Wanderers' Reebok Stadium (just outside Manchester, for those that dont know) followed by a reception at the Catholic Worker's Social Club, which is also the setting for the popular, if not exactly glamorous, Northern UK TV comedy series Phoenix Nights.

Beryl is Tom's aunt and we had a wonderful weekend in and about Manchester, Salford and Bolton with Beryl, Terry, Hazel, Annie, Leon, Nisha, Sean and Marion. A great way to say goodbye to England.
