UK, which had a bib-style pattern. “We gave our bridesmaids the choice to find their own pink dresses as we wanted them to feel comfortable,” shares Amie. “One of our bridesmaids wore a dark brown suit, which looked really cool.” TIME TO CELEBRATE “As part of us booking Piccolino Caffé Grande for our reception and Piccolo, its sister restaurant, for the evening party, we were offered to use their DJ,” reveals Amie. “I was able to give the details of the types of music we like and what we wanted to hear, and the DJ did the rest. We got so many compliments; he was fantastic! We also had a spinning photo booth from Paparazzi Mirror. This was a huge hit. You stand on a podium and a camera spins around you and whoever is on the podium with you. It then makes the video have a slow-motion effect; it’s a really cool novelty and was definitely a hit with our guests.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “Our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more,” explains Amie. “From the moment we woke up, surrounded by our closest friends and family, we felt overwhelming love and joy. The anticipation built as we prepared separately, eagerly awaiting the moment we would exchange heartfelt vows and rings. Seeing each other for the first time, dressed impeccably and radiating happiness, was a cherished memory. Throughout the day, we were surrounded by immense love and support. The day flew by in a blur of laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments that we’ll cherish forever. “Walking the streets of Manchester, we were greeted with an unexpectedly heartwarming reception – countless people stopped to cheer and congratulate us, which was both surprising and incredibly touching,” adds Amie. “As a gay couple, we initially had concerns about public reception, but any worries were quickly dispelled by the warm and enthusiastic embrace from the people of Manchester. Their acceptance added an extra layer of joy to our celebrations. The day passed in a blur of cherished moments and happiness, as we savoured every second of our unforgettable day.” The happy couple’s day was full of laughter. “On our wedding day, things did go very smoothly; however, there were plenty of amusing moments that added to the joy and excitement,” explains Amie. “Firstly, I forgot my bouquet and had to make a speedy return trip with my Bentley driver racing against the clock – a mad dash that ended successfully. During the ceremony, my veil got trodden on by my step-dad accidentally, causing a bit of a veil mishap as both my dad and step-dad escorted me down the aisle, so the first look between both brides was a little chaotic, to say the least. “We were fortunate to have an amazing photographer, who was not only incredibly talented but was also funny, kind, and an invaluable support throughout the day,” continues Amie. “Alongside her, our videographer seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every precious moment. Together, they were the perfect duo, ensuring that every detail of our wedding was documented flawlessly. Their professionalism and camaraderie contributed significantly to the magic of our day, making it truly unforgettable.” FLY AWAY WITH ME “For our honeymoon, we travelled to Singapore and Bali, indulging in a perfect blend of city adventures in Singapore, jungle explorations in Ubud, and tranquil beach escapes at Sanur over the course of two unforgettable weeks,” remembers Amie. “We will cherish the memory of it and look back on the time of exploration, relaxation, and profound connection, solidifying our bond as newlyweds in the most unforgettable way.” REAL WEDDINGS 29
