Your South Wales Wedding - March/april 2021 (Issue 78)

TIME TO CELEBRATE “During the ceremony we had the Brecon and District Male Choir perform,” says Leena. “They sang Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love when I walked down the aisle. For the children, we had an entertainer called Janina Vigurs Storytelling who set up a beautiful tipi at the front lawn and entertained the children with stories and giant bubbles. In the evening, we had a band called Peaky Blinder who we hired through Wedding Bands Wales. We also had a DJ from the same place perform when the band was on a break.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “We felt excited, happy and relieved on the morning of the wedding,” recalls the bride. “We wanted a relaxed day where everyone had fun without worrying about anything. I felt so emotional seeing my two little girls in their pretty dresses, and they were so excited that it just added to our excitement. People were falling on the floor from all the dancing and free drinks and had a great time. Neil did a beautiful speech that made everyone laugh and cry, and my cousin and her husband surprised us by performing a Finnish wedding waltz. It was amazing and made the day so special.” HONEYMOON “We went to Venice a couple of months after the wedding,” explains the bride. “We stayed for a long weekend in the Hilton Molino Stucky, which was beautiful. We planned it together and loved spending time just the two of us. We ate way too much pizza and drunk lots of white wine.” 30
