However, having a small intimate wedding where were could spend quality time with our nearest and dearest was so beautiful. Matt wore a subtle pink and nude modern sherwani with a velvet shawl to match the colour of my outfit. He also had an emerald green semi-precious stone necklace. All our guests who couldn’t come were invited over Zoom – they all had front row seats! Given the short time frame we had, we couldn’t have done it without everyone’s flexibility and support. This includes our families, friends, suppliers and each other! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we couldn’t go anywhere long haul and decided to have a minimoon in Cornwall. Our top tip would be to ensure you and your partner are on the same page, find the time to communicate and share your stress and anxiety. Our parents have been amazing and we couldn’t have done any of it without them – we’re very lucky! 42
