This is Sue Napoli from the tea ceremony at her wedding to Marc, they had just finished the formalities and the photography found Sue relaxing with a beer – not very traditional, but a good drop!

This is Marc Napoli with his mum. As Sue says "a fleeting Italian cuddle that our amazing photographer managed to capture on film"

Lee lives on the North Coast and is going to have to work real hard if she's going to get very far on that bike!
