What Made Our Day Unique
Matt, James’ best friend, was our celebrant. We wrote a very personal ceremony script together, and we were able to get references to the UFC and Mad Max's Thunderdome in it, which pleased James a lot! My Maid of Honour, Julia, played 'What a Wonderful World' on the piano as guests made their way to the ballroom for Afternoon Tea. This was my late Grandad’s favourite song and was my way of making sure he was there with us on the day. We chose a midweek wedding so most people stayed the whole week, it was like a mini-festival! Walcot Hall has some amazing and quirky accommodation. We arrived at Walcot on Monday, spent the evening in the pub at the bottom of the drive and visiting various people in their accommodation, catching up. We hired Walcot’s magnificent Ballroom and Gardens for the wedding and spent the day before decorating it with family and friends. One of my favourite memories was seeing my mother-in-law and her sister along with my friend Rhea arrange all the flowers together. It was great to see all of our friends and family, some of whom had not previously met, all get along and have fun. Seeing everyone we love all together in the same place was a very special moment for me and one I'll never forget.
