Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Page number 40 - August/September 2021 (Issue 84)

On the day, I felt so emotional and excited. Walking down the aisle to see all of our close family and friends was such a special moment. In the evening, a live band called Truly Medley Deeply played tunes from all eras: ’90s, Motown, pop, rock, etc. They kept the dancefloor full all night. Our photographer, Nick Church, was excellent; he was very personable and extremely discreet. We also have to say thank you to Tom Baxter at Coombe Lodge, who supported us from our initial meeting all the way through to the big day. Nothing was too much trouble. Tom looked dashing in a black Hugo Boss tuxedo. The groomsmen also wore tuxes, but the groom stood out with a white rose and thistle buttonhole. My bridesmaids wowed in champagne-coloured maxi dresses of their own choosing.
