Mark and Claire’s Wedding – Saturday 14th June 2008

Yup - we're finally getting married. Here's some information that you might find useful.

When is it?

Where is it?

Tonedale House is on the outskirts of Wellington, a town near Taunton in deepest Somerset. It can be reached easily by car or by train (taxi numbers for transfers etc). If you need a lift, please get in touch and we’ll see who is going your way - the less cars the better (not much parking at the wedding venue but also nicer for the air and saves your sooty prints)!
