We’d been apart for two days leading up to the day for prep and it felt so strange to say, ‘See you at the end of the aisle’. We had all the help and support we could have wanted from our friends and family and all the suppliers did everything they could to make sure everything was perfect. All of the speeches were great, and we can’t wait to watch them again on video. I also broke tradition and made a speech too. When the doors opened and I saw Matthew standing there with the lake in the background, it was a moment I’ll never forget. There were two swans on the other side of the lake, which was the first thing I noticed; they stayed there throughout the whole ceremony. I’m quite superstitious, so I saw it as the most perfect sign.
