Your East Midlands Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 39)

A part that stood out was the bridal entry. The flowergirl was carrying a basket of rose petals and was meant to throw them onto the floor as she walked in front of the bride. She forgot to do so – on the plus side, at least the registrar was happy with us leaving a clean floor!

I allowed the best men far too much freedom to say what they wanted, and they obliged. They also brought a badger mask that had been used on the stag do as part of the humiliation. Our top tip from the day would be to build up a good relationship with your photographer. I can honestly say that Derek was a better wedding photographer than we could have hoped for. He worked so hard and tried to get the shots that we wanted every time. He gave us time, space and advised us – thinking of shots that we never considered, but that were great. 32
