Wales' most capped player Gethin Jenkins married his partner Melissa this summer, and the pictures are absolutely stunning .

The happy couple can be seen strolling alongside a lake which looks like it could be abroad.

But it is in fact here in Wales, just a few miles away from Cardiff city centre. The couple wed at a church before they celebrated at Canada Lodge near Creigiau .

Canada Lodge is a stone built lodge situated in private grounds overlooking Canada Lake.

It has two function rooms, balconies and lawn terracing and if you have your wedding here, the lodge is exclusively yours for the day.

Couples can chose to have their ceremony in the Oakroom, wedding breakfast in the Lakeside room and make use of the flat grass area and grounds for wedding photographs.

They say they do two types of weddings at the lodge – bespoke weddings where you pay a venue hire for the chosen date or packages for certain weekday or off peak dates.

The wedding catering is provided by Spiros, where they also bring a team of chefs, waiting staff and a front of house manager that acts as the master of ceremonies for the wedding day.

There is accomodation there too with log cabins at the edge of the lake, an apartment above the lodge building, and a subterranean apartment block built into the bank.

They say the surrounding area is criss-crossed with a number of scenic footpaths and mountain trails, quaint local pubs and restaurants.

A wedding on a Saturday in 2017 and 2018 during peak season will cost £2,500, and off-peak it's £1,950 and the prices vary for weekday and Sunday weddings.
