What was the best bit about your wedding?

Actually getting married after so many postponements and cancellations

Was your wedding affected by the Covid crisis, if so tell us how?

Yes, we initially booked a simple registry office wedding for 50 guests then a party after. This was rearranged three times. So we opted for a smaller wedding - 15 guests and us at the Grange Hotel - however this changed hands and our wedding was cancelled. We were lucky to book in at the Principal with three weeks to spare on our notice of marriage.

Who would you like to thank for making your big day so special?

Too many. Thanks to Adele Hunter for a beautiful cake, Sarah Simpson from the Principal (she came in on her day off to make sure things were going to plan), and Vicky Rennison photography for our beautiful pictures.
