Helen & Thanos - St John Hotel Mykonos Greece 01 September 2010

I am been lucky enough to cover a few overseas weddings. These have included a castle in Jersey, a sugar cane plantation in South Africa and in the mountains of Mallorca. So when the opportunity came to cover a friend’s wedding in Mykonos I jumped at the chance. It’s one of the most cosmopolitan islands in Greece and Mykonos Town is the jewel in the crown with its narrow white washed buildings and the famous windmills. The St John hotel is located in an ideal location overlooking the sea and sunset. Helen was in great spirits during the day and the time soon came to get ready. With a warm summer’s day and clear blue skies everything was set for the early evening ceremony to take place. The guests arrived early and in a holiday mood and a lovely ceremony followed. We quickly made our way down to the beachside bar to start the drinks reception for sunset. Speeches and the wedding breakfast were very upbeat due to the warm night followed by plenty of Greek dancing  and Chinese Lanterns !!
