2020 // LOVE + MAGIC AGAINST ALL ODDS

This year has seen:

A first dance to a brass band in the car park when receptions weren’t allowed // elbow bumps and kisses blown // a wedding planned in three days to get in before November Lockdown 2.0 // face masks for guests hastily made to match outfits // a wedding allowed to have 30 guests with only a day to spare // champagne toasts from a car boot in a lay-by following a ceremony in Tier 3 // sanitiser table favours // would-have-been wedding guests waiting outside ceremonies to show their love from a distance // Zoom and Facebook broadcasts from church..

It’s been love and magic against all odds.

I really loved being part of Amy and Steven’s intimate wedding at Preston Park Museum and Grounds - they had only immediate family there to celebrate with them and they later announced to the rest of the world that they’d married on the way to their honeymoon that evening!

Well, this wedding was a day to remember.. Caitlin and Josh have booked me for their Yorkshire Wedding Barn wedding next May, but due to family circumstances they decided to do the legal bit and have an intimate celebration this year too.
