Planning a wedding is hands down the most stressful experience, especially in a pandemic, but being able to end the year as husband and wife was all we could’ve asked for! We had the most special day even though it wasn’t normal, we wouldn’t change it for the world. For our honeymoon, we managed to escape to St Ives for a week. We had the most amazing time, and being able to get away as newlyweds was wonderful. We were able to have our five-month-old puppy, Bailey, involved in the day. Due to COVID-19, there were so many moments we couldn’t have, but we were grateful we were still able to cut the cake and have our first dance. 40
