Your Kent Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 94)

REAL WEDDINGS 39  a wedding under normal circumstances, but during the pandemic with changing government guidance, it was horrendous. Blessing navigated us through these changes, worked with suppliers and was calm and professional throughout,” Sandra explains. THAT’S NOT ALL FOLKS! Sandra says, “While we were disappointed not to have the full wedding we’d envisaged, it was more important that we, our guests and others supporting us stayed safe and well by following the government’s guidance. Lyndon and I spent a lot of time reflecting on our lives during lockdown and made some major decisions regarding our future together. We gained a new perspective and concluded that getting married was important to us. We’ll always be part of history in that we had a Covid wedding, and our day is one good thing that happened in 2020. “My advice to other couples facing a similar situation would be to focus on what’s important to you as a couple and in these new times, be as flexible as possible.” Happily, the newlyweds are planning a further wedding celebration on the first anniversary of their original big day, 24 th April 2021. The bride has the excellent idea of having her dress altered into an evening gown for the occasion. Bride’s top tip: “Prioritise your guest list and consider using a mobile wedding website.”
