Jack cherished the moment he had a father/daughter dance with our little girl Autumn, who was just one at the time of the wedding. It was a truly special occasion, and it brought tears to everyone’s eyes. We hired a few garden games during the day, which made great photos. In the evening, we had a photo booth and a casino, which guests loved. It’s a great way to laugh and meet new people for those who don’t fancy a boogie. A special thing was that we included all four parents in the day! The father-of-the-groom announced us for the wedding breakfast, the motherof-the-groom and mother-of-the-bride were our witnesses, and of course, the father-of-the-bride had the honour of walking me down the aisle. Our photo booth doubled as our guest book, so we now have wonderful photos with lovely messages. The bridesmaids wore blush dresses from ASOS in two styles to suit different body types, while the flowergirls wore ivory-coloured satin dresses from Next. Jack comments, “I was so excited to see Harriet after our night apart. I couldn’t wait to laugh, cheer and celebrate with loved ones, but I felt nervous about the speech.” 42
