Bridal pair run off to Coity Castle

Bridgend couple add romance to their wedding celebrations
        Special people Alison Reynolds and Darren Wyatt got married at the Great House Hotel in Laleston on Saturday, August 20th.
      As we all know the Welsh winter had already set in by then and threatened to ruin our more exotic plans.
      The night before the big day, the Friday, the bridal couple had paid a visit to a rather soggy Coity Castle to see if it was possible to shoot some pictures within it’s romantic confines. The Castle itself looked as dramatic and inviting as ever but wet grass and mud are not things most brides associate with wedding dresses and satin shoes.
     If it doesn’t rain on the day, we told ourselves. It did rain on the day….. and it stopped ……..and it rained again…… but our indomitable couple proved to be made of stern stuff, and undaunted we set off.
   Fleeing the wedding venue immediately after the ceremony, the glamorous bride swapped her high heels for something a little more resilient once we were through the Castle gateway. Once there the old stones seemed to be waiting just for us and we spent a truly happy half hour exploring Coity’s nooks and crannies, it’s archways and bridges, it’s dungeons and towers. There is no doubt in my mind that the awesome history and dramatic beauty of the deserted ruin added a sense of adventure to what was already a perfect day.
