We also had Olly Jenkins – Musician play the saxophone while the evening guests were arriving and he even stayed for our first dance and joined us on the dancefloor. After the buffet, we had a live band called Brohemian who interacted with our friends and family and got everyone up dancing. As something a bit different, we hired a full-length mirror photo booth for the day and a traditional booth with accessories in the evening. It was so much fun, and we have lots of drunken photos to look back on. My girls love tequila, so before I put my dress on we had a shot to celebrate. We have a seven-year-old daughter, so we didn’t want to leave her for too long, although she was more than happy to spend time being spoilt by her grandparents! We’ve always wanted to travel to America, so we chose San Francisco and Las Vegas. We booked it all through Virgin Holidays, who were incredible. 40
