The newlyweds then drove around Cookham in the sunshine. ENJOYING THE DAY During the drinks reception, there was a magician and a saxophonist to entertain guests. Grace and her mother also surprised everyone during the meal with singing waiters, who started with Your Song by Elton John and followed with selections from Phantom of the Opera, ABBA, opera classics and That’s Amore . “They were just fantastic,” says Grace. “We were all dancing and even standing on chairs waving our napkins. One of them jumped on to a chair and then fell off. We thought he had really hurt himself, but he jumped straight back up and continued performing like a true professional.” In the evening, brilliant band Fake Tan performed. There was also a photo booth, a sweet cart and even signature bride and groom cocktails.
