Unfortunately, the company we’d paid a deposit to for our wedding favours went out of business due to the pandemi c, so we were left to sort our own with just five weeks to go. We bought so me princess carriage cut out boxes and filled with mints and love hea rt marshmallows. James wore a light grey suit, which complemente d the blush in our colour palette well. Our two sons were pageboys and they wore different suits but also in light grey. James’ younger brother who is in the army acted as best man and wore his dark green unifo rm. One of the highlights of the day for me was seeing our sons in their suits – I cried before I even got down the aisle when I saw them and how grown up they looked! Then, seeing James standing there waiting for me, I wanted to run down the aisle to him. I wore a beautiful ivory gown called Rachael by Romantica. It had a sweetheart neckline and was adorned in lace. T he back was open, but it had a detachable accessory that clipped onto the top of the dress covering most of my back. I loved the shape the gown gav e me and it was so comfortable. I tried on so many, but this one gav e me butterflies! The start of the day was relaxing for me, getting pampered, but as the ceremony drew nearer and I saw my dad in his kilt, I became a bag of nerves! Our photographer, Hayley, asked for a picture of the special moment and she certainly captured the emotions perfectly. James’ morning was a bit stressful though, trying to get himself and our two boys sorted in time, but he got there that’s the main thing. 44
