So we finally took the plunge after many years of being “bide-y ins” and became Geordie Smallholder Husband and Geordie Smallholder Wife, with a marriage certificate and a big party. Here are some photos from the big day, with comments if explanations are required.
Here are the Geordie Smallholder men of the family before the ceremony. Their ties and waistcoats are the family tartan (hunting edition so less gaudy).

We had a celebrant and a few of the guests were asked for words of advice to us starting out as a married couple. Some of the advice we received during the announcement, planning and the wedding day itself ranged from:
Don’t do it / Are you mad? / About ****ing time / Is Geordie Smallholder pregnant? / Share the remote control equally.
Good advice, that last one
A great time was had by all. Fabulous dinner, great music for jigging to, teaching Italians how to Strip the Willow, in bed by 11pm. Well, we are farmers after all, that’s late for us!
