Our guests were entertained by the Northern String Quartet before, during and after the ceremony. Jason Rea Magic then performed at the wedding breakfast, and Stephen Bayliss Corporate Entertainment sang for us in the evening. We were so happy. Every single one of them excelled in what they did and remained upbeat given the uncertain times. Andrew chose a navy suit with a grey tweed waistcoat from John Francis Formalwear. We were very excited but nervous due to the COVID-19 announcements. The run-up to the wedding was very emotional due to the ambiguity, but in retrospect, we feel so fortunate that we were the last wedding at Stanley House before we were put into lockdown. The bridesmaids opted for stone-coloured multi-wear dresses from Victoria Lou Bridal. I found my dress at The White Gallery in Ramsbottom. I went for an elegant Adrianna Papell gown called Kate. I loved that it wasn’t too large in the body, and I added thicker lace straps to create the look I wanted. REAL WEDDINGS 21
