Your East Anglian Wedding - October/November 2023 (Issue 63)

I chose a full-length white dress with lace detail embroiled on the skirt and train. This was the first dress I tried on at Just a Day Bridalwear in Ipswich, and it made everyone shed a tear when I walked out. I tried on other dresses afterwards, but I knew this was the one. Harry opted for a navy suit with a white shirt and a lilac tie from Coes. My bridesmaids’ chose slim-fitting lilac dresses. We were both really nervous; I remember waking up thinking the day had come around so quickly! I got to the venue to get ready with my mum and sisters, and from then on, the nerves calmed down, and I was really excited! Harry was nervous the whole morning until I got down the aisle. To keep our guests entertained, we had a signing waiter perform after the main meal was finished. He was amazing; he really got our loved ones in the party mood, and everyone laughed the whole time. After the ceremony, our family and friends stood outside and threw confetti over us. Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces, and we both felt so much love. The first dance was also really special; we danced together to Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, and then it faded into I’m a Believer by Smash Mouth, where all our friends and family joined us on the dancefloor. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
