How did you spend the time leading up to the ceremony?
The girls and I stayed at the Langham the night before and one of my best mates surprised me and turned up from London! We all hung out, got our nails done, went to dinner then chilled out at the Spa, it was so hard to get to sleep with five of my best mates keeping me up! Then on the morning of the wedding out came the Verve, we were all so nervous but had so much fun!

What moments brought tears to your eyes?
When I heard our wedding song start ‘Nothing Can Change This Love I Have For You’ by Sam Cook and I looked at my Dad.

My drunk aunty catching the bouquet and getting up on the microphone declaring her single status.

Don’t stress out too much, remember why you’re getting married in the first place.

All That Jasmine.

Rocket Kitchen – we have two little Griffon dogs called Poppy and Brian so we had them on the top of the cake!

We had a big double decker bus for our guests but the bridal party didn’t need one as we had our ceremony and reception at the same place - Cassels.

My bridesmaids nick named me Bridechiller. So no bridezilla moments I'm proud to say.
