Your South Wales Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 77)

We ordered a takeaway roast dinner from The Bessemer Hotel, which we ate at home together since the venue was closed. As we were unable to celebrate after th e ceremony, we decided to have our photographs taken and go home and c hange into our pyjamas. We’re planning to have a reception in July 2021. I’m going to re-wear my dress, we’ve booked a band and are treating the celebration as a second wedding with bridesmaids and ushers. Lee and I were only allowed eight peop le at the ceremony, so we had both sets of paren ts, our daughter and my sister. We booked our wedding during the pandemic to keep it small and intimate. We originally booked a meal for 30 people at The Bessemer Hotel, but since lockdown caused the venue to close we had a small ceremony at Merthyr Tydfil Register Office instead. Jons Travel Minibus Hire transported our parents to the venue, and Evette Collins took me and my dad . 40
