30 felt lovely and so happy with my choice of gown.” To ensure comfort throughout the day, the bride wore sparkly silver shoes for the ceremony and for the evening changed them to white Converse with personalised satin laces that featured the wedding date and her new married name. David looked dashing in a blue suit with a white tie and pocket square while the groomsmen wore the same suit but with pink ones. The bridesmaids looked stunning in mink dresses from Little Mistress with beautiful beading on the shoulder. It was essential to the bride that everyone felt comfortable, which influenced the choice of flowing gowns. TIME TO CELEBRATE To entertain guests the couple booked a DJ who played music for all ages and accepted requests to make the wedding more personal. The dancefloor was never empty and the company played some Irish songs that got people up and jiving. Lots of fun and amazing memories were captured in the evening with everyone having fun and dancing the night away. MEMORABLE MOMENTS The bride felt relaxed and wasn’t stressed about anything on the day. She knew that if anything went wrong, she couldn’t do anything now and just wanted to enjoy the day at this point. Whereas David felt the nervous mixed with a bit of stress as he had a few last-minute touches to do and needed to get him and their sons ready on time. The day the wedding took place was the same day that storm Dennis took hold, causing so much wind that during a group shot outside the bride’s veil flew off! Luckily it was caught and it made for an amusing moment to look back on. A part of that day that stood out was the evening reception. The couple decided they wanted to slow dance but not for too long and half-way through the performance broke out into a group choreographed dance. Melissa says, “We were so glad we had booked a videographer so we can relive the whole day again.” She adds, “The most special thing of the day was to have everyone we love all in once place and being altogether having fun.” “Enjoy every second of the day as it goes so quickly, everyone always says that but it’s so true!” – Melissa
