"With This D-Lock, I Thee Wed" [Shell Blockade Photos]

R2R | 19.09.2008 13:42 | Culture | Ecology | Social Struggles

A wonderful day, with fine weather, good company, a wedding and a d-lock.

(Images from video frame grabs, expect better quality photos and video later)

Boycott Shell - Give Us a Wedding Present

Use Your Bike

The assembled friends and family

Ah....
Ah....

The ceromony continues

Singing the hymns (Dancing on the ruins of multinational corporations)

With this D-lock, I Thee Wed

I now pronounce you locked together

To a future together

A kiss .... at the baracades

Touched by the ceronmony

Who caught this bouquet?

Around a hundred people showed up in Ludlow to celebrate this very special 'wedding' and take a little direct action at the same time. The 'bride' and 'groom' along with the assembled friends and family wore black, green and purple to symbolise our resistance. The forecourt was blocked off with banners and the pumps were switched off and locked up. Hymns were sungs (Dancing on the Ruins of Multinational Corporations and the Diggers Song). Veggies served cake and tea. A hand full of cops turned up to enjoy the ceremony and take some photos.

Best wishes and all the best for the future to the happy couple....
