We wanted the whole day to feel laidback, relaxed and personal rather than traditional or formal. We skipped quite a few of the traditional elements of a wedding day as they didn't feel like 'us'. We wanted to keep in speeches though; the two best men, Chris, Sarah's dad (Steve) bridesmaid (Vicky) all made speeches which had us both crying with laughter at points.
We wanted the day to just feel like a great party or 'holiday' for ourselves and our guests. Drinking margaritas on the terrace in the sunshine after dinner felt like a little slice of holiday although we were only 10 mins up the road from where we live in East London!
