I’d also say the chance to have a night sky session with the astronomer was really special.” STAND-OUT MOMENTS “During a speech from two of the best men, I demonstrated a complete inability to play the kazoo, whereas the boys did an amazing solo each and put me to shame,” laughs Kaela. “Barnaby handing over the rings was also incredibly cute and special, he’d been looking after the rings for weeks and took the responsibility very seriously.” Kaela’s parents were amazing, they helped with so much and were there until 10pm the night before making the venue look perfect – “We couldn’t have done it without them,” adds the bride. “The entire staff at the observatory, with a special mention to Natasha, were all amazing and helped the day run perfectly, as well as keeping us calm and sane during the planning. I would also say our photographers, Fizzy Robot, were just so lovely and captured the day perfectly.” HONEYMOON HIGHLIGHT “We went to Center Parcs with the kids at Christmas, it was absolutely magical and we had an incredible time. We wanted to do something special that we could all do as a family and it didn’t disappoint,” shares Kaela. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
