Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - Page number 44 - July/August 2021 (Issue 87)

The flowers were arranged by my mum and they were out of this world. We re-used the end-of-aisle arrangements to decorate the top table at the reception. We’d both discussed from early on that we’d like to get married in St Peter’s Church. Finding Pete’s outfit was tricky as he’s 6ft 2ins tall. We finally discovered the wonderful Charles Gale in Fareham who were brilliant and we hired deep blue tails for Pete and one of his best men. The other wore a matching jacket and we bought chino-style trousers to go with them. Friends lent us two lovely vintage cars for our wedding transport; a pink and white Citroën 2CV and a baby blue VW Beetle. “The groomsmen – there were a lot of them – wore blue jackets and cream waistcoats.” 44
