Quite the drama. But after a five-minute stress we decided to just get on with our evening. Happily, the Marleybrook team went truly over and above and managed to locate it three days later. My top tip would be not to leave all the tiny jobs to the end just because they don’t need to be done in advance, such as buying confetti, picking music and so on. When you let it all pile up close to to the big day, it can make the last few weeks very stressful! I had a mixed gender bridal party of bridesmaids and bridesmen, as my three best friends are men and I couldn’t bear the thought of them not being part of my bride tribe. The girls wore long teal dresses and the boys wore raspberry coloured suits. Everyone looked amazing and the colours worked together super-well. The big entertainment for the guests, of course, was the funfair. Marleybrook has the largest private funfair in the UK and we hired out all of the rides for our guests to use. Everyone absolutely loved it and it completely outdid their expectations, as well as our own. It was so much fun and made the day so special, so... us 52
