I proposed to my girlfriend (now wife) in Chicago on the first day of our Route 66 adventure in 2012. We knew it would be unrealistic to take all of our friends and family to the USA for our wedding, so we decided to bring the Mother Road to the UK and have a slightly Route 66-inspired wedding here in Oxfordshire!

We got married on 16th August 2013 and had the most wonderful day imaginable.

This message board has been a real help in planning and reflecting upon our Route 66 adventure, so I wanted to share some of our photos with you.
