💍 Mark and Sophi have been married for three years now. They travelled together, started a business and also welcomed their beautiful baby boy before tying the knot! They were married on 9 March 2019. Here’s what Sophi has to say... 💖
🎪 Describe your day in three words…
🔮 Surprising, fun, relaxed. We tried to create some "reveals" for our guests in that our venue seemed to be a large Scout Hall, but the back doors opened out into a large grassy section which we had transformed into a mini-festival, complete with tents for kids, the bar, and even a tarot card reader.
🎪 What did your guests remark on?
🔮 Our guests seemed to like the Wes Anderson like aesthetic, the utterly fantastic live music, the simple but plentiful food (three varieties of paella for our main dish - meat, fish & vegan), the pie oven for the end of the night, the photobooth, and the Whiskey Bar.
🎪 Favourite memory?
🔮 It was actually at the end of it all! Mark and I decided to walk back to our accommodation (which wasn't far) at around 4am, and to get there we had to cross through a beautiful park and walk across a small bridge over a river. It was a stunningly clear night and the stars were wondrously bright. It was so lovely to walk hand in hand and excitedly talk about the day, our highlights, the speeches, and to feel the joy of being newlyweds.
🎪 What would you do differently if you could?
🔮 Nothing. It happened just as it was meant to, and the important bits all came together thanks to the help of our friends and family.
🎪 Any advice for newly engaged couples?
🔮 The day goes by so quickly. Make sure you schedule in even just ten minutes to be together, perhaps after photos or after the meal. Take a moment to reflect on your day and the new journey you are embarking on together.
