It was two year in the planning, so we were very excited. The hotels were beautiful, and we had the most special time away. My family dog, Tillie, was a part of our day and a real star. In the early hours of the morning, she needed the toilet, so my brother, Joe, took her outside only for the door to close and lock behind him. Everyone was asleep, so he got to enjoy the sunrise in the early hours of the morning until someone was able to let him in! I remember the church doors opening and being total transfixed on Matt. When we were saying our vows, it felt like it was just us in the room and was incredibly special. The songs and performances in the church were so personal and made us both emotional. Our biggest secret was the appearance of Dhol P layers & Band Baja, who performed straight after the first dance. The drummers were hidden in the back room and surprised all our guests as they erupted into the best performance. They played along to our selec ted playlist, and it was incredible. The room was about to bursting with people dancing and having the best time. The drummers and photo b ooth from Ride My Tuk Tuk was our way of including Matt’s Sri Lanka n heritage, and I think it made our wedding quite unique. We hired a band called The Indianas and a DJ from JP Entertainments who had the dancefloor full all evening – it was electric! Our top tip to any couple is make your day personal. Try and find something that represents you both as a couple because that’s what people will remember. 50
