Dragon Boat Wedding: Couple Arrives in Unique Style

A couple in Woodbridge, Suffolk, eschewed traditional wedding transport for a dragon boat, making a memorable entrance to their reception on Sunday. Liz Masding, an avid dragon boat paddler, inspired the unique choice, which required careful planning around tide times. The pair married at the Shire Hall before boarding the dragon boat on the River Deben.

Their journey on the river included a surprise catered picnic with champagne and sandwiches, offering the newlyweds a cherished hour of tranquility amidst their busy wedding day. This adventurous spirit extends to their honeymoon plans, which involve a dragon boat race in Loch Ness. Adding to the personal touches, groom Mike Markham-Lee proposed with a ring he found himself while metal detecting.
