We were also encourage d and supported to say our own vows, and we’re so happy we did this. Having been in a long-distance relationship for two years wi th someone from a red zone country isn’t for the faint-hearted. I t hink neither us of us could believe we were actually getting married. We had a five-piece indie band in the evening which was exactly the vibe I had wanted, a slight festival feel such as the Kooks, Kasabian and The Killers. We had the classic Fennes menu: roasted butternut squash and red pepper soup, roast breast of chicken with sage and onion stuffing, baconwrapped chipolatas and crispy herb roasted potatoes and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Our canapés were halloumi, wedges and sausage topped with mash for autumnal warmth. 36
