Your East Midlands Wedding - February / March 2021 (Issue 42)

32 TIME TO CELEBRATE To keep guests entertained, a talented musician called Richie Muir performed and created a perfect atmosphere for the day. With more than 20 years’ experience, Richie Muir Acoustics sure know how to capture a crowd. A massive hit with guests was a glitter artist from Wish Upon a Sparkle who added a bit of sparkle to everyone’s day. MEMORABLE MOMENTS The wedding was full of happiness and relief as the day could finally go ahead after many changes to restrictions the previous weeks. Angela says, “We’re so thankful to have got to the day without any further issues, we were so worried the government might stop weddings and receptions.” A beautiful moment from the day was when the bride-to-be left her mum’s house, “All her neighbours came out to watch and started clapping which was so special – even a delivery driver shouted congratulations out of his window,” says Angela. She adds, “The absolute best bit of the day was walking into the church, a fond part of my childhood, with my dad and seeing Joe smiling down the aisle at me – I feel emotional now thinking about it! It was a perfect day and sharing it with our friends and family was an honour.” With an incredible amount of support from loved ones who lived the tumultuous months of planning with the couple, even though the wedding changed completely, the love from everyone and the couple’s desire to be husband and wife ensured the day would be perfect no matter what happened. HONEYMOON After such an incredible day, the couple jetted off to Italy after their original plans had changed due to COVID-19 – the first destination was Milan. The pair travelled to Santa Margarita Ligure, Venice, Rome, Pisa and back to Milan to fly home. The weather was perfect and the lovebirds got to create more memories and reminisce about the wedding day. “Have faith it’ll all work out in the end!” – says Angela
