MEMORABLE MOMENTS “I seemed to be a lot more nervous than Ashley was, but once we were at the altar and saying our vows, the nerves seemed to float away and everything just felt right,” says Jack. “We asked one of our closest friends (and bridesmaid) to perform a reading during our ceremony. She chose the most perfect reading, which truly captured the essence of the day filled with love and happiness. It was wonderful getting to see everyone face-to-face and thank them for coming. “One of our favourite and least favourite parts of the day was when our guests threw the confetti,” adds Jack. “Everyone thought it was hilarious to throw the confetti straight into our faces, rather than up in the air for it to graciously fall down onto us. It hurt a bit but made for some very funny photos!” HONEYMOON “With the worries of Covid not completely gone away, we opted to have our honeymoon in the UK,” explains Jack. “We started by flying to Edinburgh and staying there for four nights. Edinburgh is stunning and was snowing when we arrived, which added an extra bit of magic to our trip. We then travelled by train to York for two nights. York is a beautiful city and has a lot of history within it. It also has a quirky alleyway called Shambles with shops all the way down. It was the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter series, which was cool! We then made our way to Liverpool for three nights for the last leg of our journey. We drank and ate a lot in Liverpool and ended on a high. We loved exploring the city on electric scooters and having a dance in The Cavern Club, which is famous for being the place that started The Beatles’ career. Even though it would have been nice to go abroad for our honeymoon, it made us appreciate the lovely locations and things to do that are on our doorstep!” 39 REAL WEDDINGS
