Dean’s brother, Wayne, did a great job with his best man’s speech. You could tell he’d put his heart and soul into it. It was hysterical, but you could also hear how proud he was of his brother – and that’s what made it truly special. One thing we’ll always remember is our friend, Lynsey, taking over slicing our wedding cake! We started cutting it in the middle, and it was clearly driving her crazy. We took one look at her face and knew she wanted to help, so invited her up to take control! We’ve so many memories from our wedding, including time spent on the beach with our photographer getting some brilliant shots. However, our gorgeous niece got some great snaps, too! As it was mid-summer Dean and his groomsmen went jacketless, keeping things casual with white shirts, cream trousers, burgundy braces and brown shoes. They also wore flat caps after the ceremony – as they didn’t have much hair between them! My bridesmaids wore blush pink flowing dresses, as I wanted something to suit everyone and that they’d all feel happy wearing. My sister was nearly six months pregnant at the time, so it was important she felt cool and comfortable. Because of the pandemic we ended up reducing our guest numbers from 130 to 60. We were just in that period where things had luckily started opening up again. I don’t know how we would have coped with having only a few people present. Dean’s brother-in-law was responsible for organising the transport, and did a great job with the yellow Mustang! It was amazing and looks fantastic in our wedding photos. We love country music, choosing Luke Combs’ Forever After All as our first dance. The lyrics speak for themselves… “They say nothing lasts forever, but they ain’t seen us together… A love like that makes a man have second thoughts; maybe some things last forever after all”.
