Congratulations to Andy Ellerton, one of Touchretail’s developers, and Laura on their wedding last weekend.  After 7 years of Touchretail being in business, Andy is the first of our team to tie the knot during that time.

On a day heavily laden with clouds, Andy and Laura exchanged vows at Stoke Minster, and the photographer did an excellent job of organising the various groups for photos as the rain threatened. They even managed to get in the photos at the hotel venue before the heavens opened.

It was a lovely service, with a special candle lit in memory of baby Jack at the start of the proceedings. The lady vicar had a great way of putting guests and no doubt the wedding party at ease during the ceremony.

With the wedding held at 12 noon we thought it was going to be a long day, but funny how time flies once the bar was open at the hotel.

Andy and Laura are photographed with Izzy, who is so pleased that Andy is now officially part of the family – and Andy just as pleased to be officially stepdad for Izzy. Baby Isaac (2 weeks old) was also in attendance, though not too aware of the events taking place.

And of course as the evening wore on, the stragglers (Stu, Anthony, Jay and yours truly) started to come up with great ideas for new systems and working methods. Thankfully now all rather hazy and dubious.

Best wishes to Andy, Laura, Izzy and baby Isaac for happiness and health in the years ahead.
