We had one best man who wore the same navy suit but with a navy waistcoat (the same suit as the dads). We also had one maid-ofhonour, who wore a maxi pink dress from Ever Pretty.

It’s the only way we can think to describe it! We both could not stop smiling all day. We just felt so much love for each other and all our family and friends who were there to celebrate with us. We felt so lucky! The day went so quick, we wish we could relive it all over again! Of course, we had to have a photo booth since we got engaged in one! It created a lot of excitement, and it was so much fun – matching the theme perfectly! Our guests posed with props and got as many photos printed as they liked – plus one in a guest book for us. Ryan wore a navy suit with a stone-colour waistcoat by Marc Darcy from Squires. He accessorised with dark brown shoes and belt, a personalised silver tie clip and the gift I got him which was a Boss watch. “Don’t ever feel like you’re behind on wedding planning or feel bad that you’ve not done something yet that should have been done months ago (according to checklists or someone around you). On the day, put any little worry aside and just enjoy every moment surrounded by all your loved ones. The day goes by so quickly! – Abi My mum and dad kindly gifted me some diamond earrings as a wedding present and my mum gave me her diamond necklace, which was my great grandma’s, so that was very special. Ryan got me a wedding gift which I opened on the morning – my something blue, which was a bracelet with a Tiffany blue heart on. Our magician Darren Robinson was a huge hit at the drinks reception! There was so much excitement and laughter – and his magic was unbelievable! I remember looking around and seeing quite a few of our guests, who didn’t know each other, grouped around him and enjoying it together – so it was also a good ice-breaker to get people chatting and having fun.
