Summer English Garden Theme Wedding with Scottish Twist

You don’t realise just how quickly your day will go – cherish every moment, even in the run-up to your wedding when you will probably be the most stressed! Take moments to look around and soak it all up. My day went so quickly and I didn’t even look around to see what I had been planning for so long! Also, invest in a good photographer! It’s a good thing our photographer, Matt Penberthy, was absolutely fantastic and captured so many gorgeous moments of both me and my husband, our guests, and also little details that I hadn’t even noticed on the day, like signage and cocktails and canapés. Matt was a dream!

One memory that stands out is that during our vows Richard had to say “I will” in response to “Will you love and cherish her etc.” He forgot what he was supposed to say and in a moment of panic, he said “Absolutely. I do. I will. Everything!” It was so sweet and funny and got a laugh from all of our guests! We then sat down during a reading in our ceremony and faced our guests, and it was lovely to see everyone’s faces! Little did I know that when we sat down, Richard sat with his legs quite wide apart and was, in fact, “manspreading” (the tradition in Scotland is to not wear any underwear under your kilt!). The next thing we knew his Mum was going “Pssst - close your legs” to him! This was again so funny and got our guests laughing!
