We met in a ski resort in the French Alps, so had a slight ski theme to our day complete with shot skis and Génépi! Our invitations were beautifully hand-designed watercolour sketches of us sat on a chairlift as bride & groom, and our wedding breakfast tables were named after ski resorts we had been too together. Jake's best man is in a band -
The Secret Elephant. The rest of the band members set up while the wedding breakfast was going on, and they played for our evening entertainment which was a really special personal touch and even wrote a song about us! (their album is now on Spotify so pretty special) They are a modern rock band, so we were a bit worried it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but everyone including my mum was rocking on the dancefloor till the early hours! Our favourite moment was the ceremony, I walked down the aisle to an acoustic version 'You're my best friend' originally by Queen. Jake cried when he saw me and it took some effort for me to hold back the tears to prevent my make-up from being ruined! We both wrote our own vows which were very personal about our journey and it was hugely emotional and special, a memory we will both treasure always. Everyone cried and commented on how it was one of the best and most emotional ceremonies they had ever experienced.
