And man, the guy's amazing! Go have a look at his photo from Burkino Faso, Karachi and other places, incredible stuff.\\r\n---\u003Ca href=\"http://www.nahimafzal.com/lovinglyphotographedby\">Nahim Afzal photography\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.nahimafzal.com/lovinglydesignedby/\">graphic design\u003C/a>---\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>Charlotte's father, a former Danish sea-boat captain, photo by Nahim Afzal\u003C/i>\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob8-f2ef111731.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nMy rather less professional photo of Nahim and his co-adventurer Angela:\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob11-9c27f96482.jpg\">\\r\n\u003C!--more Lots more wedding pics under the cut-->\\r\nAnd some more pics from the day. Charlotte and I arrived in Britain almost exactly the same time, about eleven years ago and met, rather embarrassingly, in a toilet, where we struck up a great friendship. We ran around and did all the great touristy stuff that the very few English people we knew were too cool/busy to do. (Nasim got way better photos of the couple than I did.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob10-40fe133e76.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nMucking about in the pew at \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Giles%27_Church,_Camberwell\">St Giles Church\u003C/a> in Camberwell with my 'unofficial goddaughter', Dulcie.

Then he was all smiles for the rest of the service. (Here's him saying 'poo'.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob7-7af3dd59a9.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nLovely cakes at the post-service tea party:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob5-c7c7a683a0.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI love it when people randomly wander into photos.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob4-3f10a7c541.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nCharlotte's Danish visitors brought a lot of traditions with them. In this one, everyone lights a candle and sticks it in their glass like this. I think the speeches are supposed to stop when everyone's table cloths start catching fire, like ours did.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob3-486781a33f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nYou should have seen these guys a few years ago when the \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest\">Eurovision Song Contest\u003C/a> was held in Denmark, it was the funniest party ever.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/char_rob9-8f87601504.jpg\">","2010-06-06T18:56:00.000Z","photographer-nahim-afzal",[],"photographer nahim afzal",1776628718309]
