They’d chip in and help with anything. They built up a rapport with us so quickly that by the end of the first hour we were as comfortable with them as we were with our own family. “Eva, our make-up artist was a real asset too. I honestly don’t know how we’d have gotten through without her. She worked seamlessly with our photographers, ensuring we were ready on time for photo shoots and above all she was a tonic for any big-day nerves!” Edward says, “Signing the marriage document and hearing the beautiful music we’d chosen for this moment (the score from Ghost ) was really moving. I’ll never forget reading our vows and that feeling you have being pronounced man and wife.” THE GETAWAY The newlyweds spent their wedding night at the luxury five- star Chester Grosvenor Hotel, where they were greeted with champagne on arrival. While dining in La Brasserie they met a couple due to celebrate their 80 th birthdays next year and got chatting. They told Kim and Edward that the best piece of marital advice they could offer was to plan their lives together, because time passes so quickly. After parting ways the couple’s new friends reappeared some time later with a wedding gift for them – a Simon Radley teddy bear, so that they’d always remember that night at the Chester Grosvenor. “This act of kindness was a lesson to appreciate each moment you have,” Kim says. From here they travelled to River Nene Cottages in Peterborough, where they honeymooned for a fortnight. The weather was glorious so they spent plenty of time at the poolside and enjoyed picnics in the grounds as well as taking in champagne sunsets on the River itself. 26
