Your Surrey Wedding - April/May 2023 (Issue 100)

Sam wore a beautiful Hugo Boss light-blue suit with matching waistcoat. Sam’s brother, Oli, wore the same while my eightyear-old twin boys, Sam’s “best small people” on the day, Zac and Charlie wore cute chino shorts, Converse trainers and Ralph Lauren shirts. I wrote a short humorous bio about each guest to help get conversation flowing. Both Rachel (photographer) and Abigail (videographer) were utterly wonderful! I barely noticed either of them all day apart from on the mini shoots we did, we had such a giggle with the two of them. Despite having never met we seemed to become besties on the day which I loved! The end result was more amazing than we could have wished for and I couldn’t recommend either of them enough! My dress was simple, I was six months pregnant so actually wore a bridesmaid’s dress but in white, of course! I felt superelegant and beautiful, but the setting and the venue was everything to me, not the dress somehow! My dad, Martin, drove me on the day in his recently purchased bright yellow Classic VW Beetle – my best friend Steph had attached ‘Just Married’ cans to the back! The catering options were all locally sourced using locally produced meats and vegetables – not forgetting the famous homemade chocolate brownies from Sam’s mum! 49 REAL WEDDINGS
