I opted for a grey waistcoat to stand out. Our bridesmaids wore full-length grey dresses while our adorable flowergirls wore pretty ivory and pink dresses with a satin ribbon and roses. Jenny looked fantastic in her lace dress that she teamed with earrings, a hair comb and a bright colourful bouquet that matching my buttonhole.” TIME TO ENTERTAIN Jenny and James hired a comedian to perform during the evening, amusing their guests by telling jokes that had everyone in stitches. “We also had garden games for our loved ones to enjoy and hired a DJ to get everyone up and dancing which was fantastic,” James tells us. “I tore my ankle ligaments just seconds before we were about to perform our first dance!

It was also the most amount of time that we got to spend together for the rest of the day!” − Jenny and James REAL WEDDINGS 37
