For every birthday since the age of 10, my dad would write me a poem in my card which would usually describe the events of the past year. On our wedding day, my dad included a poem as part of his speech which I wasn’t expecting. I thought this was very thoughtful and something I’ll always look back on with fond memories.

We decided to have dance lessons ahead of our fir st dance. We chose Baby I’m Yours – a nod to Sheffield with the Arctic Monkey s track but we also loved the meaning of the song and the style. It really is true when they say that the moment you see your partner at the end of the aisle, any nerves will go away. The date itself had an extra special meaning too since it was also 67 years to the day that my late grandparents tied the knot. Harmony String Quartet played a range of songs during the reception, from Disney to jazz hits to classical music. ROSE’S TOP TIP! Remember to take a few moments to look who is around you and soak up their company. It’ll be one of the only times where everyone you love is in the same room and this feels really special 30
