Your Herts and Beds Wedding - Page number 39 - August/September 2021 (Issue 87)

The church ceremony made us feel very special; we had a small choir and wedding bells chimed away. After months of not being able to do anything, it created such a special memory and feeling.

We visited the Lake District for our honeymoon and had the most fantastic time! We stayed in a small coach house and it was the perfect way to reminisce the day. We would advise other couples to have the wedding they want and don’t try to please others. Only focus on the important factors to you both and enjoy every moment because the day goes so quickly. Using local companies really benefited our day; everyone was so easy to work with and accommodating when we moved our original date due to Covid-19. We both felt so happy and emotional on the day! Stuart was quite nervous before the ceremony and it probably didn’t help that I was late! It was important that we included our four daughters in the day. That’s why Lucy gave me away, Katie did a reading, Jenny was our witness while Sally was the usher and looked after all the guests. Our granddaughter was the only bridesmaid; she wore a navy-blue dress and a silver jacket. We had our grandson as the pageboy; he wore navy blue trousers and a waistcoat. 39 REAL WEDDINGS
