Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 100)

We had DJs for the receptions at The Port House, who made a special trip over from the Isle of Wight for the evening to entertain us. The best man, Sam, delivered the funniest speech! He proposed a ‘toast’ and promptly handed us a piece of toast ‒ hilarious! I asked my hairdresser the time while getting ready. She replied, ‘It’s 11:11 am, which is the angel number,’ which I found out signifies new beginnings. Whether you’re about to embark on a new passage or are already on the right path, seeing 1111 emphasises that. Experts say that you should focus and use it to indicate that you’re on the right track when you see it. I’m very spiritual, and that will stay with me forever.
