William and Michelle's Wedding in Congleton, Cheshire

Planning quickly really worked for us as it meant that we had to make decisions without dawdling. There were several hiccups along the way (family drama and the seamstress forgetting about my fittings), but the day came in a flash, and then none of that mattered. There had been a long spell of beautiful weather, and we woke up to the first cloudy day in two weeks. It worked out beautifuly, though, as just as we started to walk down the aisle, the clouds parted and the sun came out! It was like a scene from a film.

The outdoor ceremony was really relaxed and Cheshire East registrations gave us so many different options to personalise everything how we wanted it to go. We had our children standing by our side. Of course our three year old decided to pipe up during the objections, which the registrar took in his stride.

The beautiful scenery looked incredible in our pictures taken by the highly skilled Christy Photography. She seemed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. It was unfortunate that our six year old decided to have a big tantrum during the group pictures - but that's something to embarrass her with when she grows up and brings a partner home.

The food provided by Top Table was enjoyed by everyone and we were so well taken care of. We went for cupcakes with a small cake for cutting, which were all as delicious as they looked. Our band, The Get Back Beats, were actually the first thing we picked. We'd seen them at a friend's birthday party and knew that was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. They played all the right stuff.

The whole day was spectacular. I wish I could do it all again!
