Your London Wedding - Page number 34 - September/October 2021 (Issue 79)

We’d met Kristian, our photographer, at a friend’s wedding and loved the way he captured the day without being imposing. When we received our wedding photos we were just blown away with how stunning, romantic and candid they were, we still can’t get enough of them. Whilst we followed a couple of traditions we wanted to ensure that we did a joint speech during our wedding breakfast. This gave us chance to both jointly thank friends and family and each say some nice things to each other too (which we’d k ept secret) so it was a nice little surprise for both of u s! A special moment though was just the two of us together alone right after the ceremony, it was just perfect. It allowed us both time to really let the significance of the day sink in and realise we’d just got married! I think giddy would be the best word to describe how I felt. It was incredibly speci al to have all the people we loved in one place a nd just have a lot of fun. We played a game called ‘Sit down if...’; o ur MC and close friend Myles Usher read out fun ny and interesting anecdotes about people, or gro ups of people which then allowed them to sit dow n, it lasted around 15-20mins but really helped to sta rt the wedding breakfast off on a fun and positiv e foot. “I was nervous but excited, we’d put a lot of effort into creating a day that we’d both enjoy, and it really couldn’t have gone better.” – Nick We were absolutely blown away by how in credibly fun, entertaining and energetic No Limit S treet Band were. They absolutely brought the h ouse down and all of our friends and family we re up dancing all night long. So many people ha ve told us just how much they enjoyed them.
