The bride says, “We both never expected it to be so intensely emotional! Having such an intimate ceremony, writing our vows and all the other personal touches made it much more special!” The ceremony was the couple’s favourite part of the day; it was everything they’d ever dreamt of. A bespoke poem by Ella at Lines to Rhymes, who is just so exceptionally talented, shared the pair’s love story in a few short lines. The bride’s sister Mae read this out at the ceremony, which was a lovely surprise for Danny. The bride says, “My grandad walked me down the aisle and then reduced everyone to tears with his heartfelt speech. I’ve never seen my grandad cry except at this moment. My little sister Rosie, who is only 16, wrote a beautiful speech and read this out. She was so brave and made everyone cry again!” When planning their wedding, the couple wanted to ensure they worked with as many small businesses as possible – the companies all worked hard to ensure the pair received the day they deserved. Rhianne says, “I have to shout out Alex, our videographer, who came on board the night before the wedding after a cancellation! He ensured we had all our special moments on video to cherish forever.” She continues, “I can honestly say Carina from Badgers Mount went above and beyond! Nothing was too much trouble, and the day would not have been possible without her. My multi-talented hairdresser Chloe was also amazing and made me feel so confident as I don’t usually wear my hair up – it just complemented my dress perfectly.” Stacey at Vincent’s Florist created stunning buttonholes and bouquets. She didn’t just create gorgeous pieces but tried her best to source sweet peas, the bride’s grandma’s nickname for Rhianne growing up. She couldn’t find any in season but surprised the bride on the day with the flowers hand embroidered on some material attached to the stem of her bouquet – something the bride will cherish forever. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
