Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 101)

bags. The bridesmen wore pale pink suits with white shirts, pink bow ties and brown shoes to match. MEMORABLE MOMENTS The lovebirds both felt so excited and incredibly happy. The day they had planned for just over a year had finally arrived, and every detail was everything they could have wished for. All the talented suppliers went above and beyond to contribute to the special day. Exchanging rings and the speeches were incredible moments that will always stand out to the pair. One funny memory was when one of the bridesmaids told the bride that planting a sausage the day before the wedding would ensure good weather. After planting one on the Friday, the weather was incredible but made them wish the beautiful 1953 Bentley had some aircon! A cellist performed during the drinks reception to entertain guests, creating a beautiful atmosphere and setting the day’s scene before the venue’s DJ continued the evening celebrations. The pair is lucky to have a friend who is a fantastic singer that performed a couple of sets throughout the night. The bride says, “Everyone couldn’t wait to get on the dancefloor, only pausing to head to the bar!” HONEYMOON The pair jetted off to the Maldives (Constance Moofushi) for 10 days on the Monday after the wedding, which was amazing from start to finish. They both planned the trip together and agreed to go immediately after the wedding. Amy comments, “A highlight was swimming with whale sharks, which was the most incredible experience. We both learnt how to snorkel properly and experienced our first seaplane adventure. Pictures don’t do the Maldives justice; the island we stayed on was beautiful and the staff made the honeymoon perfect.” 35 REAL WEDDINGS
