TIME TO CELEBRATE “We hired a live band called The Kicks who were incredible,” explains Emily. “They played a variety of songs which we all knew. There was a large group of us dancing and singing all night. They were also great at taking requests when the DJ was performing between sets.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “I was incredibly nervous and overwhelmed getting ready, but once the ceremony started and I was with Matt, I felt so relaxed,” recalls the bride. “I had an incredible day and enjoyed every minute. The evening celebration was amazing. Dancing and singing with our friends and family was so special. After a year of COVID-19 restrictions, it was so nice to be able to have a proper celebration and see people who we hadn’t for so long.” The couple had a day full of fun and loving moments. “During the ceremony, there were quite a few bits which made us laugh,” explains Emily. “In particular, my full name, including both middle names, is very long and a bit of a mouthful, so every time we said it, we couldn’t help but laugh. On the morning of the wedding, I asked one of the groomsmen to come to the room where I was getting ready. I gave him a box which I had prepared for Matt and asked him to give it to him before the wedding. After the ceremony, I saw that Matt didn’t have the watch I had bought him on, which was in the box given to the groomsman. Turns out he had completely forgotten to give him it, which I found hilarious.” “Fringe Photography were absolutely fantastic,” says the bride. “They made us laugh, and never once did we feel awkward. Fuchsia Blooms Florist & Cake Atalier, was also wonderful for decorating both the indoor and outdoor spaces for our ceremony and being so flexible. The staff at Lythe Hill Hotel were so amazing and made sure the day ran smoothly, and if anything went wrong, we didn’t know about it.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “We haven’t been on a proper honeymoon due to COVID-19, but we did manage to go on a minimoon to Cornwall and then to the Cotswold with some friends,” shares Emily. “We felt it was really necessary to go away for a few days and spent some time with our loved ones as well.” REAL WEDDINGS 45
