A return trip to Cambridge for a wedding at the historic Queens’ College. My last wedding at a Cambridge college was back in 2009 at Girton College. Queens’ College is a different proposition altogether. Made up of some of the oldest, grandest and most iconic university buildings in the UK, it’s a fantastic setting for a wedding. It must also be an amazing place to study. It was whilst studying here that Alice and Max met, and they returned to seal the deal. With family and friends in tow, of course.
The couple got ready at opposite ends of the student accommodation, before reconvening in the impressive college chapel for the ceremony. Confetti is banned, so streamers on sticks made for a good alternative. Then there was a short wander down to the riverside gardens for drinks and croquet. There was also ice cream from Max’s native Southend. The wedding breakfast was served in the Old Hall. This is the original dining hall of the college with lots of original features from the 15th Century, and a brilliant decorative ceiling.
The cutting of the cake (made by Alice herself!) was followed by some emotional speeches. After that everyone headed over the famous Mathematical Bridge to the newer part of the college for the evening party in the student bar. Waiting there was an impressive homemade photobooth and the ubiquitous sweet jars. There was also a wandering saxophonist (!) and tattoos of the happy couple’s faces.
