carol&mark.get.married

Welcome to the website celebrating the culmination of 15 years of Carol's hard work and persistence. Mark is 100% with me on this.

print.me

This page is intended to be printed before you set off, with all relevant details on one handy place. Good idea, eh? Oh, and don't worry - you can just hit "print" and not worry about all the menu and other guff getting printed, it'll get removed automatically to save your ink and paper (the same is true of the rest of the site, if you care!).

All details were checked but I'm human and frequently make mistakes, please check any critical details yourself!
