Margate Dreamland Theme Park Wedding

What made our day unique? Us. We are pretty individual anyway. So, we threw out rules and traditions and planned a day that was fun and we would enjoy. There wasn't one theme or one colour, we had lots. We embraced our weirdness, uniqueness and diversity and made a day that all our friends and relatives enjoyed. We had the best time! It was a great way to show our love and enjoy everyone. ‘Best wedding ever’ was on most people’s lips as they left.

Inclusivity at Margate Dreamland

Inclusion was on our minds the whole way through. How we could cater for people who needed quieter areas, who needed access, and who wanted to talk to others. This lead us to have quieter spaces and provide quizzes and games for people. Remember, it's your day. Do it your way. We took the rule book and ripped it up and just did the bits we wanted. A small ceremony, no speeches, the day got gradually busier so it didn’t overwhelm Beth. We included people in creative ways, with our parents reading instead of giving us away. Sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity are really important to us as a couple, so we wanted it to be a part of our wedding, too. 

Our vows were based on music and tv/film passions. We had a lot of queer music represented, especially queer women (Grace Petrie, Lucy Spraggan and Mary Lambert all featured in the ceremony and Mary Lambert was also our first dance - She keeps Me Warm).
The readings were I like you by Sandal Stoddard Walberg, and then two shorter readings from Dr Seuss (mutual weirdness) and Winnie the Pooh.
