Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - May/June 2019 (Issue 45)

We made the decision to give our guests shots of sambuca in the Hall of Pillars after our meal, which resulted in some rather interesting stories unfolding throughout the night - ones that I probably shouldn’t share! Thanks to the generosity of Josh’s parents we had the most wonderful honeymoon, spending 10 days in Mykonos. We spent the majority of the time eating Greek mezzes and watching the beautiful sunsets. Every single supplier went above and beyond. Our photographer couldn’t have made our guests feel more comfortable and the photos were better that we could ever have imagined, especially as I hate having my photo taken! Our wedding planner at the venue was so accommodating and patient, he really bought our vision of our perfect day to life. We had a live band during the evening. We both have quite eclectic tastes in music, so we requested a combination of indie, rock, Celtic and classical music, with some classics thrown in. Our first dance was to Take Over the World by The Courteeners.

We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which meant they were able to play on the lawn. The groomsmen wore navy, semi-bespoke three-piece suits with blush pink ties to contrast Josh’s ivory version and match the bridesmaids’ dresses. 44
