Rachael & Fergus wed on HMS Warrior

The lovely Rachael & Fergus tied the knot in the historic Portsmouth Docks on board the HMS Warrior. Everyone was treated to a very personal and emotional service below decks and then had the run of the ship for an hour afterwards. The reception was held at the Royal Naval Officers Ward Room, a building steeped in history with beautiful rooms and paintings throughout.

The bridesmaids add some finishing touches to the flowers

No heels aloud on this ship - not with the suckers anyway - a new look for Choo's?

It was so dark below deck, but it made for some atmospheric bridesmaid portraits

A bit of a twirl as Rachael emerges from below deck

Bit of a Titanic moment

The very happy couple

Nice idea with the little led lights at the bottom of each vase on the tables

Better check the speeches one last time

The grand hall with paintings of famous Naval battles on each wall

First dance

Weird hen party hand dance
