The bride wore an A-line gown by Victoria Jane from La Belle Angèle Bridalwear, with an illusion neckline and lace and beading to the bodice. The wedding breakfast included guinea fowl and spiced stuffed aubergine, and evening food included a variety of hot and cold small dishes. The table names were all named after dinosaurs which mean something to David (he is the only British person ever to have been on a Tyrannosaurus rex excavation!). Following the church service, the bride and groom surprised their guests by arriving at the reception venue by boat which was provided by the River Stour Trust The cake was made by Alison and stacked the morning of the wedding! It was white chocolate and passionfruit with edible goldleaf with flowers provided by Butterfly Flowers of St Osyth. The bride’s bouquet included special family touches – an anchor charm (something borrowed from the Maid of Honour), attached to the binding in memory of the bride’s grandfather, and pearls wired in amongst the flowers. These pearls were the spares from her grandmother’s pearl necklace that she wore on her wedding day. REAL WEDDINGS 33
