The new Mr & Mrs Robins

Yesterday, Saturday 3rd September 2011, Your Toastmasters were privileged to be Joanne and Andrew's toastmasters at Quex Park.

From our first meeting with Joanne and Andrew we knew their wedding was going to be very special. They had a civil wedding ceremony in the beautiful Quex House in Birchington followed by their wedding breakfast and reception in the Hannah Dining Suite within the Quex Park Estate.

Joanne and her father Mick Wiggins travelled to Quex House in a horse and carriage driven by Dawn Tilley, owner of Quex Carriages, and her assistant Karen Evans. After the ceremony Hugo, Joanne's horse joined the party for photographs before the new Mr & Mrs Robins were taken on a romantic champagne carriage ride tour of the Quex Park Estate.

Before the wedding breakfast the guests enjoyed a Pimms reception on the lush lawns of the Quex House gardens. During the meal guests were fined if their mobile phone rang - this caused great hilarity as well as raising £35 for Help for Heroes. After the wedding breakfast Andrew declared that the evening reception was about to start by pouring his new wife Joanne a glass of champagne that he had opened with a sabre, which was provided by Your Toastmasters.

All in attendance would agree that Joanne and her bridesmaids, daughters Sophie and Elle, looked absolutely stunning and that they would like to wish the new Mr & Mrs Robins every happiness for the future.

Your Toastmasters would like to thank Darren Nicolaou from Photographic Aspirations, and Viv, wedding coordinator for Quex Park Estate and we look forward to working with them in the future.
