As a surprise, Hope had a banner made featuring the lyrics to one of their favourite songs, Adieu by Enter Shikari. It read: “Home could be anywhere when I am holding you.” Kev had no idea Hope had planned this and was blown away when he saw it. “It’s one of my favourite memories from the day because of how special that song is to us,” Kev shares. For the transport, Kev’s parents booked a traditional style wedding car for them. The couple departed Kev’s parents’ house together in the morning. “Our driver on the day was amazing, he went above and beyond for us,” the groom remembers. The pair also hired a coach for their guests to help people get from A to B. FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD Kev tells us more about the day’s outstanding catering, “We had a meeting with Frederiks’ manager Adam and head chef Jonathan a few months before the wedding. We originally thought this would entail a traditional set menu, basically meat and two veg, but we were so wrong! It was clear straight way that Jonathan loves what he does and was willing to try anything. We finally settled on a Mexican family feast, which was 100 per cent the right choice for us. The food was outstanding and there was enough to feed a small army! Not only this, but Jonathan was extremely accommodating when it came to our guests’ dietary requirements, which included vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options.” COOL COMFORT Hope wore a gorgeous gown from the ASOS bridal range. “I didn’t want to spend loads on the dress, because even though it’s an incredibly special day, I didn’t want to wear it once, ruin it, and then put it back in the bag not to be looked at for years,” she explains. “I wanted to be comfortable all day and didn’t want anything too far removed from my personal style. I ended up choosing a white dress for just a touch of tradition, but wanted it to be simple with minimal embellishments and ruffles. It suited me perfectly and I was comfortable all day.” The bride coupled the dress with white Vans, and jewellery that held special meaning. Kev opted for a traditional three-piece suit. “I’m not a fan of tails or hats,” he says. He and his groomsmen had actually planned to wear the same, but there was a mix up when the suits arrived, which ultimately worked in their favour. Kev wore his grey suit with a matching waistcoat, while the other gents all wore black waistcoats with theirs. The groom’s only accessory, gifted “A friend of mine messaged me the night before and told me to spend as much time with Hope as possible as he regrets not doing the same on his wedding day. Honestly, that’s all I wanted, to spend as much time as I could with Hope, she was my number one priority, and the advice paid off, it was one of the best days of my life.” – Kev 41 REAL WEDDINGS
