Matt was struggling to hold back the tears during the ceremony. His speech blew me away, it was so heartfelt and kind, and I felt like I would explode with love for him. We felt so elated celebrating our love for one another and seeing our friends and family having a great time. In the evening we hired a wonderful band called Empire Beats. They played a mixture of pop, soul and funk music and kept everyone on the dancefloor. We asked if they could combine two of our favourite songs for our first dance and left the rest of the set list to them. It was only four degrees on our wedding day. I remember hoping we could get our outdoor pictures done as quickly as possible so our nearest and dearest wouldn’t freeze! Luckily our photographer was fantastic and got everyone back inside in a flash. Moritz went above and beyond for us and even made a beautiful video that we sent to all of our loved ones who couldn’t make it. We gave each of our guests a sparkler in the evening. It was magical running down the aisle and officially starting our lives together as a married couple. For our honeymoon, we went to Mauritius and La Réunion for three weeks. It was the best holiday we’ve ever had. Mauritius had charming beaches, delicious food and daily snorkelling trips in the clear blue sea. La Réunion was a spectacular island with stunning scenery, hikes and an active volcano that erupted while we were there. 42
