Married In March

Why, you may ask, would anyone get married in March? Well actually it’s been fairly constant for me as a month for weddings as is illustrated by the four pictures here. Potentially it’s another month when the schools might be on holiday. Easter can fall any time between March 22 and April 25, the Easter weekend in 2018 takes place from Good Friday on March 30 until Easter Monday on April 2 – making Easter Sunday also April Fool’s day!

• This year March has started with the worst snow locally for a few years!

These pictures are from some of my couples weddings who got married In March, they are from weddings at The Tithe Barn near Petersfield, Winchester Guildhall, Audley’s Wood near Basingstoke and Rhinefield House in the heart of the New Forest. All four of them were wonderful and the photographers were able to get some outside pictures.

Many people like to pick a month when there is nothing else happening – for example one when neither of them celebrate their birthdays. Some pick the anniversary of their first meeting or when they got engaged – people certainly seem to be getting married all the time these days. Next up April weddings – see you next week.
