I don’t know whether it’s because we’d been together for quite some time and I’d been dreaming about this day for so long. I was taking rescue remedy like it was going out of fashion (it didn’t help). Huw said he was feeling quite chilled until the chapel went silent ready for my entrance. Our minister said the wrong names a few times during his reading. He must’ve forgotten to amend the names from a previous wedding he did and was reading off his papers without realising. Now we’re known as Stephen and Nerys to a few of our friends! My dress reveal to my dad was one of my favourite moments. I’d managed to keep the dress hidden from him since 2020, and walking down the stairs to my dad in my wedding dress was such an emotional feeling and every time I watch it back on our video, I cry my eyes out. Don’t get me started on the daddy/ daughter dance set up by my auntie Jacqui! A special shoutout must go to my brother Kyle. When we were younger, one of our favourite films to watch together was Toy Story. Kyle hired mascot outfits from an online company, and he and my other brother Keelan dressed up as Woody and Buzz – they came running onto the dancefloor dancing to You’ve Got a Friend in Me, and it was honestly one of the best moments ever! We had to postpone our wedding from 2021, so we had our honeymoon before we got married! Being the petrolhead that I am, we opted to go to the Silverstone Formula One Grand Prix. We were sat on the front row of the grandstand at Copse Corner. Any F1 fans will know that Copse Corner was the place to be in 2021. It was scorching hot weather, so we came back nice and tanned and relaxed. 40
