Your East Midlands Wedding - December 2022/January 2023 (Issue 53)

After the ceremony, one of the bridesmaids surprised the bride with a chimney sweep to highlight Michelle’s love for Mary Poppins and as a symbol of good luck. There was so much love shared between the couple and guests, who made such an effort to make the newlyweds feel extra loved. The bride says, “A special moment on the day was when my uncle Paul played the guitar as I walked down the aisle with my dad before swapping to my son halfway down.” A very emotional moment on the day was when Michelle’s friend Nicky, who wasn’t sure if she’d be able to make it, managed to get to the wedding. The bride was also emotional when she opened a special wedding gift, a handmade quilt that the couple now treasure. When the wedding finished at 1 am, Michelle’s brother started a car park party from his car for the couple and the last remaining guests who weren’t ready for the day to be over. Music and drinks with family and friends under the stars are memories that will never be forgotten. After the special day, Michelle and Peter went on their honeymoon to Kos in Greece for a week. The bride says, “The highlight was definitely a trip to the mountain village of Zia, where we had a wonderful meal watching the sun set before going to our villa for champagne under the stars.” 26
