I call upon these PRIMATES here present........

Yesterday was a FIRST...... the first wedding at Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre at Wool in Dorset and Digitally Different were there to capture the marriage of Anna and Dan.  The couple decided that they wanted a wedding that was special to them and their mutual adoration of all things primate so they pursued their dream and married at  Monkey World. 

It was a day like no other, for Anna and Dan, who had travelled from Newcastle, for the event and also for Alan and myself and it certainly will be one to remember.  The first wedding at Monkey World was always likely to create a bit of a stir and a stir it did and the press were there in attendance!  Hats off to Dr Alison Cronin the owner of Monkey World and her team who had worked tirelessly to make the venue AMAZING. 

After the ceremony in full view of the Chimps outside Paddy's enclosure it was time for a trip up the tower for a scatter feed.  The Chimpanzees were treated to a 'royal' spread of lavender, roses, rosehips and their favourite ice lollies, this time, dyed red and heart shaped to mark the occasion.  After much hilarity and fun of feeding the Chimps it was off on our own guided tour of the Park with Mike.  Being with Mike was brilliant as it was like being with the Daddy of all primates and it was clear that they all knew him as they recognised his voice and bounded over with enthusiasm much to delight of Dan and Anna!

Soon the tour ended and it was back to the Watering Hole for a splendid buffet and the speeches!  During which, Shelly the Events Co-ordinator at Monkey World got a bit of a suprise when her very special birthday was acknowledged.  Well it was only right to do so after all the hard work she had put in.  Group shots were taken in the grounds before it was time for the guests to have a wander around the magnificent venue and appreciate the delights of Monkey World for themselves.  The evening reception was held at the Springfield Hotel in Wareham where the party continued.

Our congratulations are extended to Anna and Dan, thank you so much for letting us be part of your unique wedding day.  Here is a sneak preview of their many photos, the rest of which will be online from 5th October at our website:  http://www.digitallydifferent.co.uk/  Happy Honeymoon guys!
