Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - April/May 2020 (Issue 76)

Although I felt nervous the day before, on the morning it was just pure excitement. The day was a whirlwind and we had some amazing moments from the vows to the emotional speeches and our first dance to You To Me Are Everything by The Real Thing.

Coming out of the church the skies emptied and our guests formed a slightly haphazard confetti tunnel, with my maid-of-honour running behind trying to hold my dress up! When we lived in London we used to watch a band called the Super Luckies in our local pub every couple of weeks. It had a lot of meaning to us, and we managed to persuade them to get together and perform for our big day – they were brilliant! Louise’s top tip: We wanted to keep the wedding relaxed and affordable, so a spreadsheet was our best friend to keep track of costs. 36
