Your North East Wedding - January/February 2022 (Issue 48)

My grandad walking me down the aisle made the day extra special; it was an honour to have him by my side. The Secret Tower saved our wedding! If it wasn’t for them, we would genuinely have been left without a venue and probably still wouldn’t be married. We loved our first dance to Dreams by Gabrielle, which had every single person in the room singing along. It wasn’t a traditional first dance song, but everyone was jumping up and down dancing – it was genuinely amazing! The groomsmen all wore their own navy suits because the company we originally ordered them from went into administration one week before our special day. We ended up loving how they all looked together as the suits worked for our relaxed and informal day!

The speeches were so memorable, and the photos captured reflected the absolute joy and laughter that filled the room. 36
