I have an Irish family so this was a lovely Celtic touch to the day. We then had a saxophone player perform throughout dinner and during the evening celebration. My stepdad walked me down the aisle and did the speech. We have a really close relationship and a lot of banter, so everyone expected an embarrassing speech! He certainly brought the humour, but a lot of emotion too. He asked my grandad and aunt to join him for parts of it as they had a lot to do with my upbringing, which was an unexpected, but lovely surprise. It absolutely poured with rain all morning, which apparently is good luck. Fortunately, the sun came out just as we got married, so we’re so grateful that we could have some lovely outdoor photos in the sunshine once it all dried up. Our table plan was a rustic, wooden board with a hessian background, Kraft paper and lace detail, with some flowers decorating the frame. The design complemented our invitations, as did our favours – £1 scratch cards in a Kraft paper envelope, detailed with lace and a penny. 46
