We went on the trip of a lifetime for our honeymoon! After not being able to go away for so long, we went all out. We were away for four weeks travelling to Singapore, New Zealand and Thailand. New Zealand really was breathtaking and we didn’t want to leave. A highlight was taking a helicopter up to the top of Mount Cook and landing on the glacier. It’s your day, so you should plan a wedding that you want. Make it personal and don’t let others talk you into anything different! Only invite the people you want there, not because you think you have to or because someone says you should. If you don’t want to invite great auntie Jean twice removed, don’t! We had a DJ in the evening, who went down a storm. We had no requests on the day as we knew we didn’t want a load of cheesy tunes, but guests were able to request a song when they sent their RSVPs I bought Tom a dance lesson for his birthday, as I didn’t want to just shuffle awkwardly around the dancefloor. We enjoyed it so much we had a few more and pulled off a little choreographed routine, which we’d kept secret. It was a huge hit.

We also had a memory candle and a large board with photos of us throughout the years. We had a quick game of Mr & Mrs after the meal while the team were changing the room over for the evening. This was managed by our bridesmaids, who made cards for guests to fill out and they then sifted through to find the best questions. 38
