    The two bride maids were the brides sisters, and they were dressed in beautiful dark blue long dresses encrusted with beads.

    The bride Catherine opted for brightly coloured bouquets for them all.  And Rebate florists made stunning hand ties for them

    The groom and his men wore dark cream suits with light blue shirts, and they all looked extremely handsome.

    The service was magical, the choir sang throughout the ceremony, and our very special priest Victor married the couple.

    The happy couple left the church into bright sunshine and were showered with fresh rose petals by all of the guests.

    Coaches took the guests to Rebate for the celebration to begin.

    Our very happy cheerful Mariachi band, played for the guests during the canapés which was taken on the top terrace.

    And then everyone moved into the dining room to begin the wedding meal.

    Katerine and Terje

    It was all fun and games at Rebate on 28th April 2012 as the paparazzi came to town!!  Ok Magazine Norway were outside our quaint church to capture photos of the famous Norwegian comedian Terje Sporsem, who married his beautiful wife Katrine
    Helge Petersen the Norwegian  priest form the seaman church came across to Rebate and legally married our couple.
    It truly was a star spangled production, with over 90 guests who attended the very glamorous couple wedding.  Plenty of stunning outfits and quite a few famous people, from film, television and stage.
    The guests partied hard the week leading up to the wedding, they even had a party the night  before the big day at San Pedro, and all the guests dressed up in traditional Spanish costume, but all the guests managed to get to the wedding, but we believe there were quite a few with thick heads!!!
    Terje turned up early at Rebate, and for a gentleman used to the stage and public appearances, he was extremely nervous.
    The bridesmaids were all dressed in soft cream and looked amazing, and when the Katrine the bride arrived she stepped out of the wedding car and took all of our breath away, she was a vision of beauty.
    However she was also very nervous, she was offered a glass of cava, which calmed her.
    The church was decorated with beautiful white calla lilies in tall elegant vases.
    The service was moving and very special, and they had a Norwegian celebrity singer, who voice was amazing.
    The Mariachi band in their traditional costume played during the canapés and cava which got the party off to a good start.
    The guests made their way up to the top dining room, and enjoyed a stunning wedding menu.
    They partied long and hard into the early hours, when carriages collected them all.
    Thank you Terje & Katrine for bringing the glitz and glamour to Rebate . We were all tickled pink! to think our little cute Rebate church and restaurant would be in Ok Magazine, and we are looking forward to seeing the edition that your wedding will appear in.
    Thanks for being such a special couple, we have loved arranging your wedding and working with you both.
    We wish you both, love and happiness in the future, and please come and see us all again.
    Much love from the wedding team at Rebate.
    Dawne, Sandra, Andrew, Carol, Bob, Paco, Pepi, Carlos, Andres, Eric, Nicole and all of the rest of the team.

    It had rained on 24th October 2011 and the forecast for 25th October was also rain,  and the wedding team were so nervous that the weather would dictate the days play.

     

    However the sun shone from early morning to late evening for the very special day of Kevin and Corraine Lamb, who celebrated in style their Sliver wedding anniversary. Where  they renewed their wedding vows, the same time and day as 25 years earlier in our cute little white chapel.

     

    They had over 75 guests come to Rebate and celebrate with them.

     

    Gosh it was a beautiful day, and there was not a dry eye in the church, where are minister, performed a very moving ceremony.

     

    Both sets of parents of Kevin and Corraine also attended, along with their own grandchildren.  It was a very very special day.

     

    Corraine looked glamorous and extremely beautiful in a soft flowing cream long cream dress.  Her bridesmaids, one of which was her daughter,wore water melon coloured dresses, again in  soft tulle and they were flowing gowns.

     

    When the church bell tolled the guests left the church, and the sun was high in the sky, the canapés and drinks were served under the trees.

     

    The dining room was dressed in white napery, and each chair had large tulle side swags , and the tables were adorned with flowers, in apricots and water melon shades. The look was extremely elegant.
