Everything else will fall into place.” LOVE IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS Laura remembers the worry caused by the turbulence and uncertainty of the past year or so: “We were a bag of nerves for the announcement on 14 th June, as we didn’t know what it’d mean for our big day. We didn’t even know how many guests we’d be having until five days beforehand!” But luckily that latest update in restrictions meant they could have their 70 guests by their sides as they celebrated. The excitement was tainted slightly though by the fact that Neil’s family had to make the tough decision not to make the journey from Ireland, but plans are already underway to make up for it with another celebratory bash as soon as it’s safe.
