Chris and Lorna's Wedding in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

Our Real Wedding

We had a big, beautiful, gothic, celestial-themed wedding at Bestwood Lodge. We set up the ballroom the day before with black tablecloths and chair covers, homemade candelabras, and so much homemade decor. We stayed over the night before, and as our guests had fully booked the whole hotel we had the wedding suite. A four poster bed, huge room, beautiful modern bathroom.

Woke up and had a gorgeous breakfast, and everything was set up and ready to go. Brendan kept us updated throughout the morning and led my bridal party down. Then it was perfectly timed for us to enter as the music started. We had our raven ring bearer, and before we knew it we'd signed the register and were walking out to the ballroom.

As we entered, our pianist, Tim, was already set up and played us in along with our guests. Sam and Brendan checked on us throughout the day. Everything went perfectly, from setting up the food, mini golf outside, literally everything.

We cut the cake and had our first dance and pretty much stayed up and dancing and talking to everyone until midnight. I would love to go back and do it all again already.
