We loved the maid-of-hours and best-man speeches. We both knew how nervous they were, but they all smashed it! Our photographers were amazing! They took all the day’s planning into their own hands and really helped us relax. I was so nervous during the ceremony that I grabbed Dan’s right hand rather than his left hand when exchanging rings, and the registrar had to tell me I was placing the ring on the wrong hand! Everyone that spent our magical day with us made it even more special. Our daughter Gracie did the most beautiful reading during the ceremony.

Dan has never danced with me in our nine years together, and we hadn’t rehearsed anything before the wedding. But our first dance was just lovely and went to plan – even the dog got up to join us! All those little bits you stress over before the wedding definitely doesn’t cross your mind on the day. All you care about is being with each other, getting married, and spending this special moment with all the people who love you most. REAL WEDDINGS 33
