choose something both beautiful and sustainable – that so many guests still have to this day in their homes! Catering for the day was provided by Leez Priory and was eenjoyed by all. The grooms opted for a classic roast for the main meal, but the highlight was the dark chocolate and cherry fondant for dessert. The grooms also designed four bespoke cocktails for the day themed around different icons of Walt Disney World, including a ‘Scotch Mist’ which was the favourite drink of Walt Disney himself! DRESSED TO IMPRESS The grooms wore custom made suits by Anthony’s in Billericay which is where Daniel – in a full circle moment – once had his prom suit. They both opted for a classic tuxedo style with white jackets, black trousers and butterfly style bowties. These were accessorised with custom cufflinks and pocket watches which were a gift from the grooms to each other and from their families. The best men both wore complementing black tuxedos to match the grooms and fit the monochrome aesthetic. TIME TO CELEBRATE During the wedding breakfast, the grooms were surprised with a series of video messages from their favourite Radio 2 presenters wishing them well on their wedding day which had been arranged by George’s friend, Holly. This included messages and well wishes from Rylan, Jo Whiley and Reverend Kate Bottley. The day was topped off with the classic Disney ‘kiss goodnight’ with a fully choreographed fireworks display by Dynamic Fireworks. These were synchronised to the iconic Walt Disney World firework soundtrack, Happily Ever After. Many of the guests commented it was the most impressive firework display they’d ever seen at a wedding – the grooms wore their custom ‘groom Mickey Mouse ears’ that they bought the day after their engagement knowing they’d be a big part of their special day. The dancefloor was made ever more hyped up by foam glow sticks that Daniel had discovered on his stag do and knew had to be a part of the day. For their first dance they entered to ABBA’s Gimme Gimme Gimme and finished the night on The Winner Takes It All to bring it back to ABBA – before a surprise exit, leaving to the ‘sad version’ of the EastEnders end music which was a hilarious moment for all. MEMORABLE MOMENTS Of course, being called by Scott Mills to appear live on his Radio 2 show before the ceremony was a particular unexpected moment that they’ll never forget! Dan adds, “Neither of us had planned for or knew this was going to happen but it was such a dream come true! There were many special moments. However, we particularly loved the ceremony which we hadn’t expected to love as much as we did – a friend Annika sang When You Wish Upon a Star during the signing and this was a particular moment where the enormity of the day really hit home. As the newlyweds get ready to jet away on honeymoon (California and Hawaii this September for a visit to Disneyland, naturally, and Honolulu) we wish them a magical future together. Love is a song that never ends! 31 REAL WEDDINGS
