  4. Inside it looks massive and ornate. Outside it doesn't look that big.

  5. Beautiful! I wonder how many weddings they've had there over the years?

    Did you have a Merry Christmas, John! Hope so! We had a strangely warm one, almost 80 degrees, though I was hoping against hope for snow anyway.
