Don is 91, and he surprised us with a really emotional speech that touched everyone’s hearts. It was completely unexpected. Our pup, Valda, was so well behaved. She was an absolute dream during the ceremony. Our dogs are our lives, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Of course, the weather was on our side, so that was amazing, but what stood out was looking at our guests and seeing the faces of loved ones, many of whom we haven’t seen in over a year due to lockdown. There was no chance of us getting away with everything booked up, so we spent nearly four days of our week after the wedding cleaning the house and dismantling the marquee. It was totally worth it! 26
