Jhanvi was nervous about all the attention on her, but once she settled down, those nerves turned to happiness. George was nervous as he had to give his speech, which wasn’t his thing. But he was also looking forward to it, and preparing with his groomsmen helped ease his nerves. The groom finished both glasses of prosecco and canapés before the bride even took a sip! She believes he was either nervous or extremely relieved! Jhanvi was incredibly emotional as she walked down the aisle with her dad, entering a room filled with all the pair’s loved ones. She had no idea how enjoyable and unforgettable the morning would be, driving to the venue and spending time with loved ones was surreal. George shares the same sentiment about his morning preparations! The bride comments, “My first look with my dad was an extraordinary moment for both of us, bringing back memories of me growing up – it was a day to remember. “It’s impossible to describe the feeling of walking down the aisle! It’s beyond words to enter a room with everyone there for your special day. We experienced the same surreal feeling walking into our wedding breakfast with everyone waving their napkins – the energy in the room was incredible. “Wrapping up the evening by dancing and witnessing everyone having a blast was incredibly enjoyable. A highlight for me was our final dance, which brought everyone together in a circle and belted out Taylor Swift’s Love Story. It was a truly memorable moment. “The speeches were truly incredible. As I mentioned earlier, George is usually reserved, so hearing him express his emotions in his vows and speech were moving. George’s best man, who shares a similar personality, delivered a funny and heartfelt speech that meant a lot to both of us. My dad’s speech was also wonderful and very touching.” The wedding planner, Stacey, went above and beyond to make the special day perfect. From the moment the couple got engaged in September 2022, Stacey’s fun and charming nature put the pair at ease. Her constant availability sets her apart - always just a message or call away. She accompanied the lovebirds to venue visits, had countless calls and Zoom meetings with them, and her faultless service left the bride amazed at her efficiency. The supplier handled any issues, offered valuable advice and worked seamlessly with the newlyweds as a dream team. She not only valued their input but also provided professional judgment when needed. The bride comments, “Stacey understood our vision and budget, recommending suppliers perfectly suited to us. On the wedding day, Stacey and her coordinators delivered a truly mind-blowing service. They ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing me, my family and my bridesmaids to relax and enjoy the day. They took care of every detail, from decorating to looking after my handbag. They made sure all guests had an amazing time and even ensured everyone got home safely.” 36
