The speeches delivered by our four sons truly made the day unforgettable! They were all part of our special celebration. My two sons, James and Alexander, had the honour of giving me away and walking their mother down the aisle to Hans Zimmer’s Matera. As big fans of both James Bond and Hans Zimmer, the moment was nothing short of magical, especially with our talented cellist Isobelle Austin and pianist Michael Raggatt playing as I made my entrance. l felt beautiful and relieved that everything had come together. I didn’t pick up my dress until the day before my wedding and left it hanging until the final moments of getting ready. So, putting it on after my hair and make-up were done felt super special. Lindsay’s sons, Joe and William, served as best men for their dad and were responsible for holding the rings. As a blended family of seven, with our four boys and Lindsay’s daughter Jasmine, each child has developed their own unique bond over the past 15 years, without any pressure from us. They understand that family is built on kindness and care, not just tradition. Their speeches reflected this beautifully, filled with warmth and sincerity, making us incredibly proud. I wore a Pronovias gown called Divinity, a crepe mermaid dress with sheer beaded netting. I wanted a simple statement dress to flatter my body shape while reflecting on the Christmas season. l knew as it was dark when we left Marylebone at 4pm, the evening lights would catch the tiny crystals sewn onto the netting. 39 REAL WEDDINGS
