Your North West Wedding - June/July (Issue 80)

We booked a mini-moon to Wales the weekend after the wedding in a glamping pod with a hot tub, which was amazing. Seeing and hearing Martin’s speech on the day really touched me, as did my sister’s speech which I wasn’t expecting her to do. My mum and dad made the majority of the wedding happen, from running errands to making the wonderful décor. Our top tip for any couple about to get married is to relax and enjoy every moment as it does go by quickly. Consider a sweetheart table as it’s a great opportunity for you both to soak everything in.

Thankfully he was kind and drove over to Hawkshead, where he managed to find one. 34
