Well, I’m not sure what this has to do with sea kayaking (or the south west), but we simply wanted to thank paddlers Kevin and Alice for giving their friends the most wonderful weekend imaginable. The following photos should give a random flavour of events through their wedding weekend.

Alice is posh, and used to work for the Queen. She is terrifyingly efficient and recently worked 24.8 hours a day for a full year to get her MA, scoring 106% for every test.
