Mr & Mrs Mesner Lyons
Saturday 5 September 2009. South London. Sun out. Good people.
Thanks so much for celebrating with us. We wanted the day to be fun, informal and friendly — and you all made it exactly that.
The day
Southwark Registry Office. We said the words. It was brilliant.
34 Peckham Road, London SE5 8QA View on Google MapsThe Bread and Roses, Clapham. We ate, drank and danced (some of us) until about 7pm. Transport was laid on from the registry office.

The proposal. He did.
Good to know
Absolutely informal — whatever you'd normally wear on a Saturday afternoon. Jeans or a fancy hat, really anything goes.
One request: incorporate a rose — in any way you like.
We recommended not driving. The Clapham reception is walking distance from Clapham Common and Clapham North (Northern line), or Clapham High Street (Overground).
Very much welcome. At the ceremony, younger ones on parents' laps or in a row at the front. Plenty of room at the reception, plus an outside space.
Your presence is present enough — really. But if you wanted to, we had a honeymoon fund with Trailfinders. Reference 5B15TG, surname Lyons or Mesner.

We had an official photographer — Peter Crane — for the day. If you took any good shots yourself, please send them over.
A special thing
Our friends Lucy and Steve made this for us. It's wonderful. Well worth a madcap minute.

Staying over
Everything happened in South London. We did a bit of research — these were conveniently located, though we can't personally vouch for them.
A Spanish Americana oasis in the heart of South London. Or so they say.
Friendly, small, budget. Clean and comfortable close to central London.
A cosy stay in compact luxury.
That's all
Thank you for being there. It was the best day.
