to accessorise her look with a long and simple white veil, sparkly high heels by Badgley Mischka and simple pearl earrings – the perfect finishing touches to a timeless and classic look. The bride-to-be says, “The whole morning was filled with nerves, but I knew I looked the way I envisioned myself and was so happy with every single thing.” Sean wore a black, slim fit Moss Bros. suit with a white shirt, a black satin bow and Ted Baker shoes. The groom had one best man, Michael and his 11-year-old son Ethan was the ring bearer – both wore black suits with a black ties and shoes. Patricia’s best friend Sandra was her maid-of-honour, and she wore a muted earthy-toned dress by Victoria Lou Bridal in the colour fossil. She accessorised her look with gold jewellery and sparkly high heels. TIME TO CELEBRATE To keep guests entertained in the evening, the couple had a DJ play some fantastic tunes that got everyone dancing. A massive hit with guests was the Mr and Mrs game, where the best man created several questions that were read out, and the pair raised either their own shoe or the other person’s to reflect the answer. The bride says, “The game was so was funny and a bit inappropriate – luckily our videographer was no longer there to capture it!” A funny moment from the day was the bouquet throw. Patricia comments. “All the single ladies had lined up only for our friend Sharon to run through the door out of nowhere to catch the bouquet at the last second and then ran away with it! Our videographer said this moment deserved its own video, it made everyone laugh hysterically and we definitely won’t forget it.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS The night before the wedding, Patricia felt super nervous and didn’t sleep at all, while Sean felt fine until his bride-to-be walk down the aisle and the emotions flooded through. One moment that stood out to Sean was watching a short video message from Patricia’s dad, who unfortunately couldn’t make the wedding from the United States due to Covid-19 restrictions. He also loved having his friends and family together after a long time apart during the pandemic. Patricia loved having their photos taken on the intimate rooftop, especially the shots of the pair under her veil, as well as the stunning golden hour pictures on the beach, which allowed the two some quiet and alone time. The speeches were full of meaningful words that touched the couple’s hearts. The bride says, “The best man’s speech was super long, nine pages in total, but it made us laugh.” The photographer, Victoria at Victoria Lilly Photography and florist Zoe from Zoe The Wedding Florist, are friends of the bride and made the couple’s day that extra bit special. Patricia says, “They both went above and beyond in their own ways. Victoria was seven months pregnant at the time, and our videographer Kim put us at ease so much throughout the day by making jokes and having a laugh. They were brilliant with all the kids and so dedicated that they’ve spent half the day on the floor to get the best shots and angles.” She continues, “I’m so grateful to all my suppliers and glam squad who took full control to make me and the venue look stunning. The master-of-ceremonies took all the stress out of the day and ensured everything ran smoothly.” HONEYMOON After such a beautiful wedding, the couple set off for Corfu in Greece for 11 nights where they had a lovely private pool, swam in the warm sea, travelled around the island and enjoyed plenty of Greek food. The couple’s original plan was to visit their family villa in Turkey, but this trip has been postponed to 2022 due to Covid-19 restrictions. The bride says, “In Corfu, we saw several beautiful places, snorkelled and scubadived with all the fish, which was the highlight of our honeymoon. The whole trip was splendid, and we made lots of amazing memories.” 28
