All of our closest friends and family made such an effort for us from ferrying us around on the day to Carlos’ mum and sister helping to make decorations to my aunt making an entire dessert table. We were so grateful, and it made the day so much more meaningful too. Carlos’ dad did a speech which was so special because he doesn’t really speak English but made an effort to write one and speak on the day! All the speeches were so fantastic! My dad had everyone in tears at one point, and all of my bridesmaids did a speech which was so lovely too! In the evening we had a DJ from GC Events who we’d met at an open day and a photo booth which was lots of fun; it was great looking back at all the silly photos and our guests loved it! The day was a dream come true to both of us, everything was perfect and we had the best day! We went on a five-day trip to Cornwall for our minimoon and did lots of exploring and just enjoying being newlyweds. We had our official honeymoon three months later where we spent a week in Canada exploring the most amazing mountains, lakes and views – it was all so incredible! We then spent a week in Hawaii in a fantastic resort, relaxing by the pools and at the beach. 44
