few sentences in Portuguese for my grandparents that had made the journey all the way here to attend the wedding. Because they do not speak any English, Dylan still wanted to make them feel included.” There is always a funny story, or two, when families get together for a wedding day, for Bruna and Dylan it was the bride’s step-father having such a good time he had to be carried to bed after one too many! “Luckily, our lovely venue included charming accommodation for guests staying the night,” adds Bruna. ABOVE AND BEYOND A wedding day wouldn’t be possible without lots of lovely suppliers helping along the way; the staff at Bury Court made the couple’s day run smoothly. “We are very thankful,” adds Bruna. “Bark ‘n’ Render were the best caterers we could have asked for too; not only was the food fantastic, they ensured everyone was catered for even a last-minute allergy request!” When it comes to working with your photographer, it’s essential a couple are made to feel at ease which is exactly what Bruna and Dylan found in Jesse, of Jessica Grace Photography, “Jesse made us feel so comfortable, she was so subtle with her photography style we didn’t even notice pictures being taken, which is what we wanted! “Finally, having my grandparents travel all the way from Brazil at 87 and 77 made our wedding so special. I’m forever grateful they were able to be part of such a special day.” AND RELAX… Bruna and Dylan enjoyed a much-need minimoon in Paris after their nuptials. “We stayed in the lovely Kimpton Hotel which was wonderful and filled with amazing food throughout our break.” This Easter though, the couple are enjoying a honeymoon to Japan and South Korea. “We planned the honeymoon together and are really looking forward to it.” A FINAL THOUGHT… When it comes to wedding planning, Bruna says, “Enjoy the process, don’t stress too much as everything will fall in to place. Trust the people around you to help, include the people you love in the preparation. “During the day take a moment with just your partner to take it all in just the two of you. But most importantly, have fun. If something hasn’t gone according to plan no one will notice but you. So let it go, take a deep breath and enjoy your special day.” 43 REAL WEDDINGS
