09:45:07 Andy and Chika-san pointing out their names on the high tech announcements board in the entrance to Islington Town Hall.09:48:11 Quite a nice ceiling in the Town Hall.09:48:47 There then follows a few pictures whilst we were waiting for the registrar to call us in... Here's one on the stairs.

09:55:59 ...and here's Andy pretending to be suddenly overcome with the gravity of the situation.09:56:15 The ladies waiting patiently...09:56:56 This reminds me of the stand you get at the Olympics when they give out the medals. Andy has taken the gold, and presumably the event was somehow connected with tie length.

09:57:31 Andy and I looking austere, with this rather distinguished bust.10:23:13 ...and here we are, just after the ceremony - you're looking at the new Mr and Mrs Andy and Chika-san now!10:23:20

10:30:20 Andy and Chika-san signing the registry.10:32:12 As Andy put it at the time "I'm signing the treaty of Versailles".10:33:06 I did admire the way Andy very diligently checked all the small print before signing.

10:33:19 There's the registrar as well.10:34:34 Here's me doing my witness bit.10:34:38 We're both thoroughly enjoying the fact that I've scribbled (smells of wee) next to Andy's name on their marriage certificate.

10:35:23 Chie doing her witnessing bit.10:36:13 ...and I think we're all done!10:41:48 The happy couple emerging from Islington Town Hall.

10:42:00 We thought we'd try a few poses here.10:43:45 10:53:28 After the ceremony, we popped into the Carluccio's down the street for a spot of celebratory bubbly.

10:53:54 I rather liked the red backdrop in here.11:05:45 ....and there's the bubbly. Blimey Chika-san knocked that back quickly!
