The flavours were peanut chocolate swirl, salted caramel, chocolate, and lemon. As we got engaged on a Caribbean cruise, we used each island we visited as a table name. Luckily we’d visited the same amount of islands as we had tables! We met Tie The Knot Catering at a wedding fair and loved their energy and enthusiasm. We chose a menu of our favourite foods: fish, beef and an assortment of lemon desserts. We’ve heard nothing but good things about the food since. We kept our magician, Paul Fowler, a secret until the day. As magic tricks proved such a hit on our first date, we had three guests take part in their own magic show during dinner, which was hilarious. We also had a photo booth during the reception, which provided so many laughs the next day over breakfast. Sally from The Instavan also came with Dolly’s Trolley and served our guests alcoholic lollies. We loved seeing both sets of family and friends come together. Mine all live in London so it was the first time a lot of them had met James’ from Brighton. Seeing our two families become one was beautiful. 54
