I had a certain dress style in my head that I wanted, and my bridal consultant helped make that vision come to life. She added a cover-up to the top and a belt that could be tied into a pretty bow at the back. I had always wanted a long train and I had so many comments about how beautiful the dress was. I found Jacqueline Louise Bridal Ltd on Etsy, who sells multi-way dresses. We went with the dusky rose option, and each bridesmaid was able to wear it in a way that they were comfortable with. Ed and I were both nervous but equally excited. We were relieved when the important parts were done so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. When the vicar started her speech of ‘do you take Sophie’, Ed said straight away: ‘yes!’ Everyone laughed and the vicar explained that she hadn’t finished what she was saying! The men wore navy suits and grey waistcoats from Golding of Newmarket. We hired singer Emma Stevens to perform while the guests arrived. I had secretly booked Silver Service Singers for the wedding breakfast. The singing waiter was a massive hit and really got the party started. We had a DJ in the evening and a photo booth from The Snap Booth. Ed’s dad had recently gone into a care home, but was able to make it to the church with support from a care worker. So many people were happy to see him there, and it meant a lot to have him witness us make our vows. 39 REAL WEDDINGS
