We planned the break together and stayed for five nights in total. We really enjoyed the time away, and the weather was in our favour. We were pleased that we went a few days after the wedding, so we could process the day. We made each other’s wedding rings at The Jewellery Cottage in Attlebridge. It was a fun and memorable experience. We love knowing that our rings are personal and unique to us. My dad somehow managed to memorise his speech! It was emotional, and so many people commented on how lovely it was afterwards. We had our first dance choreographed by Starlight Dancing, which we kept a surprise from our guests. The dance went smoothly, and everyone kept commenting on how good it was. I got the wrong contact lens in each eye on the morning of the wedding and, not realising that I already had it out, managed to poke myself in the eye! Luckily, one of the ushers was a contact lens optician, so he came to the rescue! Matt and I felt relaxed and content on the day, and it was nice to celebrate with our closest family and friends. The day ran so smoothly and we loved how relaxed and informal the atmosphere was. 50
