Putting my dress on and seeing my father for the first time was quite emotional. I was really nervous walking down the aisle but it was lovely to see our guests, and seeing Ricky at the alter made it special. Dancing to a live band under the stars and to finish it off with fireworks was amazing. We couldn’t thank our photographer Liam Gillan enough, he was amazing! The guests loved him, and he made us feel so comfortable and kept us giggling! I definitely recommend him he’s really talented. I think all couples feel excited and nervous on their wedding day, and this was no different for us. I wanted the day to be perfect for us and enjoyable for our guests. It was also a relief that we managed to have the day we dreamed of, rather than worrying about restrictions and a further postponement. 48
