When we started planning our wedding, we sat down with our parents and asked them not to give any money towards our wedding we wanted to pay for the entire wedding ourselves and be debt free on the day (which we did manage and we’re so proud of!). Instead, our parents are extremely talented and we asked for their help to bring our vision to life. The real showstopper came with the father of the bride speech and after a moving speech we were presented with a beautifully wrapped giftbox. We had no idea what was going to be inside! We opened the ribbon with guests hanging in anticipation, looked inside and sobbed – they’d booked our dream honeymoon, a trip around Texas and Nashville. We cried, our guests cried, our suppliers cried – it was an emotional moment! After our ceremony we had huge garden games we’d built, our country music DJ, Johnny Rattlesnake spinning some records and the bucks fizz was flowing. I arrived to the ceremony in the buck of my dad’s Chevy truck and my mum and maid of honour arrived in our Plymouth Satellite which were then parked at the top of the aisle. We had an amazing BBQ buffet style meal catered for by Valentine Cuisine whilst our very talented country music band (Danny McMahon) played for us acoustically throughout our meal. We had a hand tying ceremony which was very emotional, this started with an Apache wedding blessing (famous American blessing). 37 REAL WEDDINGS
