Your North West Wedding - June/July 2024 (Issue 86)

I wore a Ronald Joyce dress from Dream Dress Bridal. I accessorised with a veil that my mum wore on her wedding day to my dad 36 years ago, which was a lovely touch. I adore my wedding ring, which was made by the amazing Slack & Andrews. Unfortunately, my grandma passed away before she could see us get married, so I had the diamonds from her eternity ring added to my wedding band. My bridesmaids opted for black floor-length dresses. We were both nervous about the ceremony but excited to have everyone we love in one room. Just before I walked down the aisle, we noticed that my sister’s dress had a huge hole in it, so we had to get a lovely lady from housekeeping to come and quickly sew it up! Phil chose a suit from Marks and Spencer that was slightly different from the black tuxes that we hired for the groomsmen from Freedmans. We had Matt & Donal come and play traditional Irish music with a twist. They were the best and our guests loved them. We both come from Irish backgrounds and it was important to incorporate that into our day. We also had the most amazing DJ called Andy Murphy. I never left the dancefloor from the minute the music started. REAL WEDDINGS 27
