Darren and Laura's Wedding in Swaffham, Norfolk

Our Real Wedding

Well, our wedding was so different to what we had initially planned! We had arranged to get married at The Red Barn, in Runcton Holme, and have our entire day there with 150 guests, a cake made by our Mums, a picnic wedding breakfast, live band, and fish and chip van. But then came Covid-19. We made so many back up plans, to cover every situation, and we finally settled on our day. We still got married at the Red Barn, but with 20 guests. We then all travelled back to our house, as we have got a large garden. It was full of gazebos, hired trestle tables and chairs, fairy lights and balloons. Our garage had been transformed into a bar, and our patio became the dance floor.

It was THE best day of my entire life. We had never thought that we would be having our wedding reception in our back garden, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. We got to get married and have our special day, which is all we wanted to do. We stuck on the Amazon playlist, got out the BBQ and had burgers for our evening meal. Not even a tiny bit of rain could spoil our day, it was THE BEST!
