Your Yorkshire Wedding - May/June 2025 (Issue 72)

It’s hard to put into words how we both felt – pure happiness. The whole day was incredible, but the speeches stood out. They had us laughing and tearing up. The father-of-the-bride missed a page from his speech. Luckily, it was the page about the groom though! I accessorised with a cathedral-length veil and minimal silver jewellery. I also wore white heels with bows to match my dress, and flats to change into later on, bejewelled by my maids-of-honour. Our DJ and saxophonist kept the dancefloor full of energy all night.

For our honeymoon, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure across the USA, exploring three incredible destinations. We began with a few exciting days in New York, before flying off to Los Angeles for a taste of the West Coast. The highlight was spending a week in the breathtaking paradise of Hawaii, where we truly relaxed and embraced the beauty of island life. 33 REAL WEDDINGS
