Shakespeare's Love Story

Chapter 22

It was nearly the day of Johanna and Daniel's wedding, and everything had been set for their special day, except for one thing.

"Louis, our photographer cancelled on us at the last minute, and we can't find anyone else to do it at such short notice" Johanna sighed as she sat down on one of the bar stools.

"Oh no! what are you going to do then?"

"I don't know!" she exclaimed.

Louis bit his lip as he thought of what to do, gasping when he came up with something. "Harry!"

"What?"

"Harry, I'll ask him, he does photography."

"Are you sure? I don't want him to feel like he has to or anything but it would be great."

"I'll speak to him mum, don't worry about it."

By the time of the wedding, Harry had agreed to take the photos, to the delight of everyone.

Harry was with Louis, taking pictures of people who were getting ready and of the commotion in the hotel room. Louis would tend to follow Harry around but kept his distant, nonchalantly looking over every so often. Harry made sure to get a group photo of everyone there before they had to set off for the church ceremony.

Everyone thought Johanna looked beautiful in her wedding dress and her veil. She was glowing happily throughout the morning and was never seen frowning.

She was escorted to the car by her father, and they got into a limousine. They were taken to a church just outside of Yorkshire that they thought was perfect. Harry was sent ahead of the bridal party and got to the church slightly ahead of them.

The two cars eventually pulled up into the church and made their way into the church. The church really did look beautiful with the pews having white fabric draped between them. The very front rows had a bouquet of flowers.

The church was already filled with a lot of family members and friends that were attending the wedding. There was a light murmur of chatter until everyone was told to be quiet.

At exactly twelve the bridal party went down the aisle with Louis, Lottie and Felicite going down last, Harry taking a photo of them. Everyone stood up when Johanna and her father walked down together. Her chosen wedding song was played until she got to standing beside Daniel.

They were both smiling widely at each other, holding hands tightly.

"We are gathered here today, to see Johanna Poulston and Daniel Deakin come together as one."

By the time it got to the exchanging of the rings, they had managed to make practically everyone cry. Harry made sure to get a lot of things caught on camera and was seen running, as quietly as possible, around the church with his camera.

Louis handed Daniel his ring, and he repeated what he was told before putting it in her hand. Johanna was given her ring and repeated what Daniel did. They were still smiling when the priest said Daniel could kiss Johanna. Everyone cheered and clapped for the newly-weds. The bridal party made their way down the aisle just after Harry took a photo of Daniel and Johanna as they walked back down.

Harry quickly ran outside of the church, just in time to catch a photo of everyone throwing flower petals at them. He took many pictures of the bride and groom, the bridal party and members of the family either all together or by themselves.

Wentbridge hotel was where the reception was being held at. The guests invited had made their way to their seats and the whole place was almost filled. There were around ten tables with ten seats that needed to be filled, and there were only a few empty spaces dotted around the place. A large dance floor was separating the bridal table from the guests.
