We were followed by a local live band, The Long Straws, who did two sets of music including rock and roll, modern, and jive covers of hip hop and pop songs. We finished the night with Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way . By the end all of the groomsmen were up on stage singing their hearts out like a boyband, then I got carried up to join them! If you’re planning a DIY wedding, don’t underestimate the set-up time needed, as things will hold you back on the day. You’ll need lots of help from family and friends so make sure you feed them on the set up day as well! I designed our table names with the help of a friend. Each one had a cut out of the island on one side and a photo of us on holiday there on the other. They were Borneo, Madagascar and New Zealand. 50
