first White Winter Wedding!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Ahh, white winters in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>This year we have been blessed with closing airports, roads that have ground to a halt, political blame being hurled around; why can&#8217;t we just accept that we humans are a slave to our surrounding environment, that it&#8217;s impossible to predict the weather with 100% accuracy, and enjoy the ride?<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe it&#8217;s because it simply doesn&#8217;t inconvenience me that much &#8211; either way I absolutely LOVE the snowy weather.<\/p>\n<p>We were in two minds as to whether or not to venture out from the warmth of the 12th Century Tithe Barn (part of Ye Olde Bell, Hurley) into the fluffy snow for the formal photos, and I did worry about asking freezing bridesmaids with high heels to wait around, but I&#8217;m so glad we did.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki and Tom were married on Saturday 18th December in the picturesque village of Hurley.<\/p>\n<p><a
