They include diamonds from his aunt’s engagement ring. The finishing touch was the tiny silver dog bracelet she wears all the time, which people often associate with her and her job. Nick wore a navy and grey tail suit and stood out from his groomsmen as his trousers were the same grey as his waistcoat, whereas the other gents wore navy trousers to match their suit jackets. The bridesmaids wore royal blue, one shoulder, floor-length dresses – Dani by Monsoon. THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT! The couple postponed the wedding from July 2020 to July 2021 due to Covid and because of restrictions still in place at the time they were only permitted 30 guests. “Luckily we both have small families, so we could have everyone there we needed, and it turned out to be super-intimate and amazing. We had the chance to speak to and spend time with everyone and the day absolutely flew by,” Becky shares. But it did mean they weren’t allowed to have a DJ or dancing. However, they booked a super-cool VW Campervan photo booth for the afternoon, which was a huge hit with guests – “It was great fun and produced plenty of laughs as well as great photo memories,” Becky recalls. Then, after dark, it was time for sparklers out on the terrace with everyone getting involved. WITH THANKS The bride says, “All the staff at St Julians couldn’t do enough for us and we couldn’t fault them on the day. Hayley Laws, who did my hair and make-up did the best job – I’ve never looked so good! Also, we couldn’t be happier with our photographer, Florence. We have the greatest photos to look back on and remember the day forever.” BECKY’S TOP TIP “When planning we often got caught up in worrying about whether everyone would like what we were choosing, but in the end we just went for what we like. It worked out so much better than picking the traditional things you think you should have. So our tip would be to just let your personalities out and go for what you want on your day.” 40
