A guest appearance by a life-size cut out of Channing Tatum was unveiled during the speeches – he is my (Liss’s) celebrity crush! “Make sure you provide some flip flops for your female guests to dance in!” - Liss As a surprise for Ian, I hired some singing waiters who performed at the end of the wedding breakfast. They were a real highlight of the day. I (Ian) wore a navy three-piece suit with a pink tie, pocket square and socks! My ten-year- old son William was my ‘little best man’ who wore the same as me with yellow accessories, and Liss’s father and brother Martyn wore orange and purple accessories to tie in with our colour pop theme. I loved my vibrant, colourful bridal bouquet. The other flowers we incorporated into our day were yellow sunflowers and colourful varieties such as gerberas in yellow, pink, orange, green and purple. We had a DJ for the evening reception who got everyone up dancing! We hired a magician to entertain guests between the ceremony and wedding breakfast. He was a real hit with everyone! 42
