Wedding Drive At Holton Lee

Occasionally Marmite's services are required for a local wedding. Today the happy couple are having their wedding reception at Holton Lee and Marmite will collect the bride and groom some way up the private road and transport them the last half mile in the 4-wheel waggonette.

The first task is to shampoo the heavy feathers on Marmite's feet. Claudia , Becky and Jenny make an excellent job. He then gets a very thorough grooming with special attention from the girls to his mane and tail. He really looks very handsome and smart.

Wally attaches the traditional ribbons to the waggonette which has undergone a thorough cleaning for the occasion.

All dressed up and ready to go. Marmite, resplendant with plume, with Bradee at his head is now ready to leave the yard to go up the road to meet bride & groom.

A very happy bride steps up into her carriage while an equally happy groom waits his turn.

The weather is perfect and the day offers the happy couple a fantastic start to married life - may God bless them.

It has been a busy day, but the enthusiastic help by our five junior helpers made light work of it all. A job well done and a generous donation all helps make our work worth while.
