Your North East Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 54)

Our photographer was fantastic! She helped out with other duties, such as helping people know where they needed to be, an d made us feel so comfortable. We had an ABBA tribute band, as I am comple tely obsessed with ABBA! They were incredible, changing costume seven ti mes and getting everyone up on the dancefloor. My sister is shy and said she wouldn’t do a speech, then surprised me on the day by coming out as my childhood hero, Mr Blobby! To overcome her fear meant the world to me, and Mr Blobby got a big laugh, too. We wanted our catering to be relaxed, so after canapés from Citrus Catering we hired food vans. We picked Chuco’s and Parmo-rama, because we thought that gave people an option, as well as Scream for Pizza for the evening, as Matt orders from them a LOT! My bridesmaids wore sage green floor-length dresses from ASOS, but in varying styles as they’re all different shapes. We had our friend as our celebrant, who was br illiant. She brought humour into the ceremony, but was also sentime ntal. She also wore a colourful fruit basket on her head to top it off! Matt and his groomsmen wore dark green wool suit jackets, with dog tooth trousers and rust-coloured ties. We thought this tied in nicely with the bridesmaids’ dresses and woodland ceremony setting. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
