Hannah's Wedding Day !

I've missed you. Oh, thanks. I know, it's actually a lot better, isn't it? Like, obviously we didn't really, I didn't really look at the weather when I was away, but everybody was just saying like how terrible it's

Oh,

been.

it's been disgusting, I'm not gonna lie. It's actually

Yeah,

honestly terrible. There's no, nothing summer about this summer.

no, I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite glad about it because I've got so much washing to do, so I've been able to be outside. Yeah.

like, literally, I was like, Do you know what? This is the worst. I can't even drive my bloody washing outside, and then the heating bill's gone up, because it's been so cold. I'm having to drive my washing inside, on the, on the hangar,

Oh dear.

heating on.

Bad times.

It's not

The problems we have, hey? The problems we faced.

Well, I

First of all,

I knew you were gonna mention this! I was about to mention it too!

So turned up to your wedding and met Mary and Dave and amazing couple by the way

lovely.

uh, Mary was like, Oh, I listened to your podcast and I've really got, I've got this idea because obviously they have officiated your ceremony, didn't they? uh, she was like, Oh, I really want to do when I say without further ado, I want to say, let's get you wed. And I want to point at you and I want you to say it with me. And I was stood there and I was like, Oh, Oh my God. I I can do this. I was like, that was internally, but outside I was like, Oh my God, what a great idea.

Yeah, I like, looked over you, I was like, what's she talking about? She was like, and Hayley?

know,

I was like,

oh no. Because I didn't know when she was going to

you

it.

were like, let's get you it!

in time either. So yeah.

we actually did that better than we normally do it, Hannah.

Oh, amazing though, I had to mention it. It's so funny.

Definitely, it was the highlight of my day.

Oh, was it? So, Well, congratulations on first

you so much. It feels like a while, it seems like I haven't seen you for so long. The last time I saw you was at the wedding. But like, that seems like forever ago. Like, it is nuts.

we talk quite a lot anyway I

Yeah.

your voice note's gone for hours but,

Yeah.

I sort of, I didn't speak to you at all while you were away on your honeymoon and everything so I saw you on your wedding day and pretty much that was the last time I spoke to you was the

Literally.

wasn't it?

Yeah, it was.

know, because I know you said you were going to have a bit of like a social media break and stuff so I was

Yeah, which I did really like. I didn't really go on my phone a lot at all, like the odd message here and there. But yeah, not a lot at all to be, I, I was surprised that my phone, I mean, the only time my phone worked doesn't add wifi. I couldn't use it any other time and it was only really when we were at the hotels that we had like good wifi. So yeah, it was nice. It was nice to just take about. Thing is I know what I'm like and I will just be so like, oh, I wanna look at my emails.

I've actually been thinking myself about going

Mm.

like a social media detox I mean, I'm not a celebrity. I don't need to

Ah!

No one cares if I go offline for two weeks

Guys, I need to take a break for two weeks.

it in my stories like taking a social media detox, you know Cuz everyone's following me once it

Yeah. I feel, though, like, when you don't go on social media for a couple of weeks, like, when we come back from honeymoon, I didn't know what the hell had gone on in the world.

Yeah, you're

like

what's

it's really weird.

Yeah, it's strange actually, to be fair.

I'm like, what's this person doing? And what's this person doing? And what's, what's, you know,

The thing

what's the celebrities that I follow up to?

a paper, like, old school would be pick up a paper, the daily newspaper, wouldn't it,

Yeah,

just sit and scroll, like, I mean, news isn't news anymore, is it, like, you

no,

on your phone, but

literally.

with TikTok and, like, social, like, all the social media, you just, it's there. Like straight

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm glad you took some time out anyway, and I can't

Thank you.

which we will talk about in the next episode. But today

Yes.

listen all about your wedding day, your

Yeah, sorry guys, I feel like we've banged on about it forever now, but we'll do this episode and then it's out of the way and it's done and we'll never mention it again.

another episode.

A whole episode.

don't care. I mean, this is great. I love it. I got to live it. Now I get to live it

Yeah. I think the idea of today really, isn't it, is we posted a little thing on the socials just to see what people wanted to know. Is it's the fact that I'm a wedding planner, I'm in the industry, and I've had my wedding and the experience from being in the industry compared to working in the industry on somebody else's wedding, I suppose. Really, isn't it?

yeah, I think so. I a lot of I mean the idea of this podcast and I was talking is to give people like the Details, you know, and I think that

The juice.

Take on it for you

Well, yeah.

as working in the industry and having it You know, having your own wedding, it gives,

Yeah.

kind of detail. I think that people want to know,

Exactly.

things they can do for their wedding. So

Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. So Hayley is my interviewee today. Interviewer.

interviewer.

the interviewee, is that right? Yeah, something like that.

was something

You get the picture.

yeah, so got to go to Hannah's wedding.

She did.

it a few times that I got upgraded. I

You look so nice as well!

thanks. I mean, you looked amazing. It was your

Do you know what, that was one of the things, like, in the drink reception I was going round to everybody, going, Oh my god, you look so nice! I was so I don't know why I was so surprised, but it was like, oh, everyone's made so much effort for us, and but everybody was saying back to me like, you just did. Well, no, you look nice! And I'm like, but you look nice! And it was just so like,

you

but but if you asked me what everybody was wearing, I haven't got a clue. I kept thinking back and I was saying to Martin, I was like, what did they wear? What did they wear? I can't even remember, until I get the photos, I won't actually know what anyone was wearing. But I know everybody looked nice, cos we've got all the photos back from our relopement, and we got like, a little teaser from our wedding day. So, yeah, looking forward to getting those.

I basically wanted to go through your day with you. And

hmm. Nice.

so obviously we kind of did a bit of a rundown of your wedding as the

Yeah,

anyway what kind of you were planning doing but obviously now it's been and gone sadly start in the morning so how did you spend the morning of your wedding

so we, I think we spoke about this before, but and at the time I was like, oh, I don't know if I've made a rookie here, because remember I booked a lodge for my bridesmaids and me, and then I told everybody, like, this is where we're staying, it's, it's basically like a load of, like, they're like cottage, I think they're classed as cottages, it's called Toe Valley Cottages, so they're called cottages, I kept calling them lodges But it's a lot, you know.

want

I want to wash my hair and go to bed. But in the end it was actually really nice. So I came and obviously saw you. Quite stressful, I'm not gonna lie.

yeah

that. And then it was really weird, because this, yeah, Hannah, leave.

Get

Do you know what, that was so the right thing to do, was to get me to leave the day before, and I was stressed because as soon as I saw my bridesmaids, I was like, I was so excited then. I was like, buzzing. My, my Yeah, like literally my whole mood just changed and I was so excited and yeah. So we then came back down to the venue to have a look and obviously I stayed away cause I didn't want to say anything and they were all really excited.

Yeah.

were gonna kick everyone out and just be like, look, we're just having dinner. But in the end, we had loads of food. So we were like, everybody just grab a plate. We all grabbed a plate. And then when it got to the point where people, you know, it was getting to like seven, half seven, we wanted to start having showers and stuff. And we'd be, you know, people had been in since like five. People started then leaving and going off to do their own thing.

of my

best, best night's sleep I've had in ages. I fell asleep about 11 o'clock I think and woke up about half seven. It was great.

that.

Bridesmaids made me a cup of tea. Lovely got up and then yeah hair and makeup came and honestly, I was a bit like Come on then, what we doing? What we doing? What we doing? Yeah, because hair and makeup turned up at like half nine, and then, but I didn't need to go until like twelve, so I was just like, just annoying my bridesmaids basically, yeah, who were having their hair and makeup done, I was just like, taking pictures of them and like, hellooo, in their faces. Yeah.

wedding day because obviously being bride You're like the last person to be done.

Yeah,

floating around. I'm like a

floating about. Yeah, just call me a flare. Literally, it was quite nice, it was very chill, and I was just like

Yeah, that's

D dossing around, just, yeah. Don't really know where the time went. Yeah.

Because

And so that's what we did.

day, wasn't it?

Yes.

more time I suppose because we sort of said where you're gonna like Before we said about making sure you

Yep. Oh yeah, so we did,

for you, I guess it was like a more brunchy of thing

Yeah, we did like a brunchy thing. I did like waffles and croissants and, which was so annoying because you know I said about doing the food shop. Went on Tesco, did my food shop, which came on like, So this was, the wedding was the Sunday. We went to the cottage on the Saturday. I think I got the Tesco shop for like Thursday, and I made sure that it said online like You know it tells you how many days expiry is going to have on it. I made sure everything would cover the wedding and beyond.

Oh god. I was like thinking it'd be stale but actual mold. I It's grim

know, how bad is that? So I need to, I still need to email them to complain actually because it was very annoying because they told me that the croissants would have five plus days

Yeah, I

yeah really annoying but one of my other friends who was staying in one of the cottages had actually texted me to say do you need anything and I was like croissants please but in the end we didn't even need them anyway because we had like just so much stuff like fruit and yogurt and I didn't, people didn't really touch it to be honest, it's a bit of a waste really. People just.

there I'd have cleared up, mate, but

Yeah,

never mind,

cleared up, cleared up then a little bit, but,

But

I didn't really see anyone eat that much and I didn't really either, so, not like masses. I had a couple of croissants, you know.

was good, the vibe was chill.

Yeah, it was very chill, it was nice and just excited, everyone was excited and as soon as like the girls had had their hair and makeup done, honestly worth every single penny.

Yeah,

was really nice.

sort of said, gives everybody more of like a, well, organises them, doesn't it? Keeps everyone to a bit more of a schedule, so

Yeah,

time. I feel like when people are doing their own hair and make up, obviously you sort of like, dally or whatever, time

yeah, so true.

So if they're like,

Yeah.

else is doing it for you and you've got to worry about that, it's all done to like a schedule, so you'll make sure you're done on time and

Yeah, which they were all really good and they'd all like move their stuff and like cleared their stuff up apart from I heard one of my best friends she's a bit like me like with like get like leaving stuff to last minute kind of thing

no.

I heard one of my other friends say to her KAYAN because she obviously had it really reminded me of like a Monica Rachel moment you know when she hasn't packed when she moves house and she's like you haven't packed it was like I heard it! I didn't go in, I didn't mention it, I just heard my other friend tell her off because she hadn't packed her stuff and we were literally about to walk out the door and she was like,

no

you haven't packed, you haven't sorted your stuff out!

Oh

But they must have done it because I just like, laughed and walked off and then she must have sorted it. But they'd already taken loads of their stuff anyway to like, their own cottages and stuff so yeah, it was all good. So yeah, no, it was, yeah, it was very chilled. Everybody said that. So we had quite a few people coming in. So we had the videographer come, photographer came. We had a, so our caterer has like a social media team and they have like a content creator who does like back.

our discussion about

I know I mean, I

A couple episodes

thought it was really good and it was worthwhile

Yeah, but you, I

But I wouldn't replace

pay, yeah, like would

No, and

for that service?

probably not. No, no, no

but

No

it looks, but it looked really good as well for their advertising.

Yeah, it was, yeah, it was more for the caterer and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they could see what they're So yeah, again, like I think we said, for suppliers, amazing. Like, so for them, great.

yeah, like if you're trying to promote yourself and like show

Yeah.

I think it's like, that's so

And I think it's actually a very good tool for photographers and videographers, because When they're like doing your getting ready bits, your content creators getting bits of the bride and getting ready and bridesmaids and whatever, but they're also getting content of you. So like that content creator got bits of like them, them working essentially. So

doing your film and yeah, yeah, I

Yeah.

That's

Yeah. Which was nice. But yeah, I'm trying to think yeah, that was it really. Like just, yeah. Like I say, very, very chilled.

Everyone's hair was dry on the morning.

it was. Yeah. There was no dramas. I'm not going to lie. It was.

Good.

Yeah, I'm trying to think if there was any dramas. No. The only thing was my sister put her dress on, then sprayed her perfume. Actually, she sprayed my perfume. I was like, because I had like my wedding special perfume, sprayed my perfume. I was like, that's my wedding day scent.

Oh

She sprayed it over her dress and it like, it stained the dress.

to me about that. It's,

Yeah.

looked like water had been splattered on it. That's

Yeah, and she was really like worried about it. I was like, and I was just like, who cares?

yeah, but like, that's a good, that's a good point, like, if you're a bridesmaid and you're gonna spray your perfume on afterwards, I wouldn't, I'd just, you know, you're meant to put it on, like, your wrist and your neck,

Yeah, exactly that. They do say not to because the organza can stain because it's like oil, isn't it? But it's like oil based.

Well,

You couldn't see it. Anyway Yeah, it was fine. It was fine But my friend was like, oh my god, like trying to get a flannel to like rub it out. I was like who cares? Yes Yeah Hmm Yeah

the day was the weather. So Obviously, So the weather was good though, weather was good, but obviously

yeah, it was fine.

good. Yeah, but I think it was

Pissed down all morning. I woke up, I was like, but honestly, it's like, it's the thing that you always say to couples, and I always say it to couples, but it's, I found it to be very true, is that you just don't care on the day. I think if it would have affected The day we would have cared, but I don't know if you know the full story of what happened before the wedding. Basically, so the day before obviously I was a bit stressed and I was upset about it.

if you like you say it's really sunny you need some shelter

Yeah, all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah exactly So when it was up, I was a bit like, ah, like it's all right, but I like, I don't really want my ceremony under this. But I knew if it was bad weather, I was going to have to do it. But I so had my heart set. That was the only bit of the day that I really wanted outside. I was like, I really want the ceremony where we've always planned to have it, right? And it, and it, and it was stunning.

know because obviously I'd been there we'd set up flowers so we had these

Yeah.

and like it was kind of a discussion of whether we're going to be positioned if it was

Yeah.

or the original

So,

plan.

basically, on the morning, weather's so bad, so my coordinator made the decision that it was plan B, and I just kind of said, I'll leave it in your hands, leave it to the morning. My photographer turns up, and I knew that the videographer was doing the sound for our ceremony, so I, she was like, oh, Dan will be here in a minute, he's just sorting out the sound, and I was like, where's the sound going? And she was like, do you really want to know?

Yeah, because they'd moved everything, didn't they?

Yeah. All the chairs, the flowers,

yeah.

the the, sound system, everything was moved. It

But it was a

was great.

call, but

Yeah, literally, it worked out for

basically, I do, and then there was like a big clap of thunder, it just started

the best.

it?

Honestly

for, uh, under your canopy for like, welcome drink, so

for the, yeah, it was the weirdest thing. I've actually the videographer sent me a clip of that video, so it's literally when I think Martin's putting my ring on, or I'm putting Martin's ring on, this, the big boom of thunder,

So

everybody just like, was like, started laughing, and everybody was then talking about it.

Yeah

but yeah, but

remember, isn't it?

Yeah, and I'm so glad that they moved it and, well, it wasn't even just the, the staff, like, Martin was involved, his best man, apparently, was like, lugging chairs, took his suit jacket off, he's lugging chairs around, bless him. So, yeah, and I was really grateful, and obviously, I didn't know anything until we got literally, got in my taxi, and then my coordinator said to me, FYI, it's Plan A now and I was like, Oh, Plan A! Plan A!

I bet you were like buzzing.

it was. And then, what happened was, the only thing was, now looking back, I'm like, why did I not, like, put my foot down a little bit more about that? Is, so, I had two coordinators, one was with me, one was at the venue. Now, I don't know if you noticed this, but basically, after the wedding, Martin was like, what took you so long? We were standing around for ten minutes and I was like, I don't know. Are you joking?

Everything happens for a reason.

But it was just everyone, it, that did get, we did then rush, like, we were like, oh my god, get the confetti done, everybody is running up to the cover, like, if I, if actually we would have said, no, I'm going now and waited outside the venue in the taxi, because no one would have seen us, it would have been fine.

Yeah,

Did you feel like you were sitting around for ages?

really, to be

Can you not remember? No.

no, no, I don't, I don't feel like we were, but it was, do you know what, as we were sitting there, it got, the sun was, it really was beating down on us, although it got,

Yeah.

fully out, like just,

Yeah. No!

I just remember thinking it was really warm, and also, can I just say, loved your playlist that you had on while people were waiting. Love a bit of David Gray? Wow. Oh,

Ah! was my playlist.

I can't remember the song now.

Was it like, piano?

Hang on a minute, out but I'm going to have to Google the song because

Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hang

I, the playlist I gave them was like a pia you know, like Bridgerton kind of vibes.

By David Graham, it's like, If you want it, come and get it. I don't know

Oh.

Crowd out loud.

No, that weren't the playlist I gave them. The playlist I gave them was like, Bridgerton. You know, where it's like strings playing songs. Ah,

It was like, I mean the songs were great, I loved it. And then there

nice writer.

there um, is

Okay,

well? Like Piano Man?

nice, yeah.

maybe I made this

Well, at least you enjoyed it.

I was in, I was in my head and I was like, what a great song.

Love it.

Uh, I want to know, how did you feel walking down the aisle?

Oh, amazing. Loved it. Loved every second. And I don't understand anyone that doesn't love it. I lapped it up.

like,

And I felt like I walked at a good Yeah, I felt like I walked at a good pace, didn't I?

You really gave us what we wanted.

Yeah.

slow, but not too slow, but slow

No, and everyone was so emotional, everyone I was looking at, and I was just, and then as soon as I saw Martin, and he, like, was in tears, and I was just like, ahhh, like, but,

it's

I wasn't really like, I was more like laughing, I was just, like, I cannot wait to see the pictures, because my face must have been, like, aching from smiling. I was literally like,

bless. It was, do you know

yeah, it was amazing.

walking down the

Thank you.

obviously, I think we spoke about it before, but you walked down the aisle on your own. I actually

I did.

I think it was better because it was like all eyes on you. It was like, it was like a

I know Power moment nette. And

Yes.

do you know what? I didn't feel nervous at all, and it didn't feel emotional until like the bridesmaids were getting emotional and stuff. One of my bridesmaids cried the whole day, but I hadn't cried once in the morning. bless her. I didn't cry once and like they, they actually gave me a really nice gift and this really nice frame of all these lovely words, and I was just so happy. Like, I didn't, I didn't, I'm so excited. I didn't really feel like in the cry.

yeah, you can

Yeah.

and it can get too teary and then it just sort of becomes a bit,

Yeah, I don't, maybe that's just, I'm Yeah, I just maybe don't think I'm, I'm only a crier when I'm upset or I'm angry or I'm, or I'm annoyed is my biggest one when I cry. I don't really cry when I'm happy. I think I'm just, I'm just like quite a bubbly person. So,

No,

I, yeah, I didn't really feel that and I didn't really, I kept thinking I'm gonna cry literally all day, but I didn't. Like, I was just, yeah, really happy. I was, yeah, I wasn't really emotional. I was just happy, enjoying myself, but yeah, I didn't feel nervous at all. I was fine. And then in literally until,

Really

but it was the song that I had playing down the aisle and it makes me cry every time.

I know you told me what song it was ages ago and I haven't mentioned it when we've been talking on the podcast so I didn't want to

Yeah,

case it was, normally it's like a surprise, isn't it?

yeah, yeah,

oh, it's such a classic.

I know. And I just had the piano version. So it was Eric Clapton, You Look Wonderful Tonight. And yeah, I love that song. It's that, it's the chord. It just gives me like shivers.

Oh

really like,

lush. Oh,

it's really nice.

it's like, blown away. You looked stunning. You were so confident and you looked so beautiful.

Thank you. It feels really weird that I didn't see the rest though, like, I'm like, Ooh, is my bridesmaid smiling? Did they walk a good pace? Did they, do you know what I mean? I don't really know. Yeah.

Because obviously the walk was quite far, wasn't it?

Yeah.

come, down the hill and then there was like a big, it's like a

Which I loved.

I thought it was really nice because it gave everybody a chance to like really I know it

Have their moment.

Sometimes when the isle is short you can't like appreciate like all

Yeah.

obviously the bridesmaids have had their hair and makeup done They've got a

Yeah.

Ahem Beautiful.

Obviously stunning.

it just sort of like, I feel like it gave us all the chance like really like watch

Yeah.

down and appreciate them and

Yeah.

bride.

Of course.

So yeah, no, it was lovely.

Yay.

So another one, so obviously with your photography, you had quite like candid, it was like kind of

Hmm.

it? Photos are quite natural rather than being like staged and forced like you get sometimes at weddings.

Yeah,

Um, but obviously out of the ones that you did, I'm assuming you had some planned, did you? none at

literally we had, no, so in terms of me and Martin, we already had all our couple photos when we did Wales.

Yeah.

we were like, we don't want to stand and pose because we know that the couple shots that we use are going to be from Wales. Obviously, like our album from that wedding is insane.

Yeah, so

I can't even get my head around that it's us.

You should be on I think you should submit them to like a

Yeah, I should. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will.

of Vogue.

Yeah, I should be. We only got them back yesterday. So yeah, I will be submitting them, definitely.

my gosh, they were so beautiful. Yeah, but

Yeah, so, yeah, I, I feel like, so we weren't that bothered, like, we, so we did some, like, we did some, obviously, and, and I really love my confetti shot, which I was always a bit like, eh, I'm not bothered about the confetti shot, but, eh, she has a really nice photo, and,

yeah.

of family photos, we did with, one with my mum, and, like, my brother, my mum, my sister and then mine's mum. And brothers purely for them, not for us. We were like, we know our mums are going to want these photos. And they were literally the only three photos we did. We got our coordinators. So for anyone that feels like they need to just do one with their parents and like siblings, this is what we did. We got our coordinators to set the photos up and then we literally just slipped into them.

have any canapes at my

what?

was having photos

Oh at your wedding? I thought you'd been at my wedding. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah.

remember the same feeling. I mean, I did want a few family shots, because I've got quite a big family, but, so I was spending a bit more time, but I just remember being like, oh, I never had any canapes. I was so sad about it.

Yeah, exactly. And I, and I just think like that was five minutes of my day. Imagine if you're doing that for an hour, which a lot of people do half an hour to an hour.

yeah.

you know what? And, you know, I have thought afterwards that, oh, did I get a photo of them? Did I get a photo of them? But I'm just a bit like, it is what it is. We'll see when we get the photos back, who we've got photos with. If people spent a lot of time with me and was dancing with me and stuff on the day, I'll have photos with them. If they didn't then.

Scrum.

We did a call one, didn't we? We did a nice one.

Oh,

I,

all the girls from the hen.

yeah, we did the hen girls, like a couple of my friends who couldn't come in the hen. And Martin did a couple of photos with his best friends as well. We just did them in the evening. We just grabbed all the girls and she got you to like pick me up and stuff. But it was fun 'cause it wasn't like a group shot. They were fun and I felt like I was just like, like

Just

laughing with you girls. Yeah. it was great. It was fun. So I loved that.

all of your you had, because obviously you're a photographer, videographer and everything, quite creative people I would say,

Yeah.

rather than being kind of the poised photos

Yeah, definitely.

your favourite Do you think you're gonna have a favourite? Cause obviously I know you had the bit where there was a rainbow and everything like that And then

Oh yeah, there was a rainbow. That was the bonus of the rain, wasn't it? An amazing rainbow. I don't know.

of

Be intrigued to see.

my god!

But when we walked back up from that, I wanted a shot of the two of us walking up the stairs with like my dress trailing down, which she just got naturally. I'd asked for that. That was a really nice shot.

Love it.

Yeah, I don't know. I've just, I cannot wait to see all the ones on the dance floor. And the funny thing was, right, is, you know, we always talk about the foam flashy sticks and we're like, oh, tacky or, you know, waste of money. So Basically, I'm not that bothered by them, right, like, I, I think, whatever, like, if that's your vibe, but We had them at the Hendoo and they were actually really cool, right? So my best friend messages me and is like, How many guests you got going to your wedding?

the

That was the busiest I saw that tent the whole night. It was heaving.

it

Everyone was dancing with their stick in their hand. I was like,

in

is going on? So I thank her for bringing the flashy sticks. I was, I mean, Martin was sceptical, I came round to them after the hen do, to be fair, because they were really fun at the hen do.

fun, I

Yeah,

they

and I did a wedding,

it was great.

yeah, and I did a wedding recently as well that did, had them for their first dance, and it looked really cool. So yeah, I had, I was a bit like, take it or leave it, but actually, they was a, they was a good shout. Yeah,

one of the speaking of like entertainment and obviously people dancing and everything like that, I would say One of my most favorite things about your wedding was how much music you had, like live music. So

yeah,

you had the acoustic guitar

yeah.

singing.

Yeah, oh he's amazing isn't he?

Oh my gosh. Literally like he

Love him.

It was during your welcome drinks. And then also when people were kind of arriving and things like that, when he was playing

Yeah.

It was, everyone was like singing along after, it was

No. Yeah. Yeah. He

you had a pianist during your, it sounded like I said penis, you had a penis,

had a penis.

a pianist during your wedding breakfast.

Yeah.

and then you had obviously a live band

Yeah, it did. Yeah.

entertainment and you had a DJ.

we did.

there was lots of like

There was.

and I feel like that actually is sometimes a bit of an oversight like I feel like music is such a Important thing because it

It is. Yeah.

Everyone's like in a good mood like everyone wants to dance and sing along and I just feel like that really was

Yeah.

part of your day like

And it sounds a bit like overkill, but again, like, we what we always say is think about, like, your priorities, and that was a big priority for us.

Yeah

it sounds like, oh, you probably spent loads of money, but actually, we didn't. Like, the singer was a really good price. The pianist was a good price. Band was a good price. Actually, if you added it all up, it, it wasn't actually that bad at all. It's, it's a lot, a lot less than you probably would think it, it's going to be. So it wasn't a huge, huge expense, but it was also important to us. So we were happy to put budget towards it.

yeah, it was lush. I loved it. And it was like you say, it's like a, it creates like a whole memory,

yeah,

and I feel like then you will attach that memory to that song. And I feel like that's why it's so important

yeah,

well, I mean, I'm in the same mindset as you were like with music, like I've, I've always felt it's quite important. So,

yeah.

I loved it. Honestly, it was incredible. I remember our wedding, like our first was a song that not many people had like, we still get people now like, oh, that song, like, we love And like, lots of people, like, texting us afterwards, like, what was that song? And,

oh, I love

because it was like one they hadn't really heard, but to us it was special.

Yep.

think of that, like, moment in

Yeah. Do you know what? There was another thing that we had which I would really highly recommend. So we didn't actually have to pay any extra for it because our DJ was a very good friend of mine. He was your DJ as well.

yeah.

So when he did your wedding He just did it as an extra because he is a new thing for him.

Yeah.

this the, it's the, it's called a, it's a, like a photo dj. He got, I dunno if many DJs do it, but he does it. He's called blue Mark Entertainment. He's amazing. He is the best DJ I've ever worked with and I've worked with a lot of DJs. So what he does is he basically has a professional camera. He loves photography and he's just taken, picked photos while he's DJing of you on the dance floor. Every time he offers it to me as a client, I never really massively push it.

no, it's amazing. I remember at my wedding it was, it was honestly, one of my favorite photos from my wedding is one that he took of me and my dad on the dance

Yes! That photo's stunning.

love it. And he said to me that he gets, he has it obviously, he must keep a portfolio so he can show people what obviously they can have. And he

Yeah.

he has so many comments on that photo. People think that that's your husband because he looks so young.

Your dad would love that. He'd be lapping it up.

if I told my dad yet, but he

look young.

but I really, Mark is amazing DJ, but

good.

he's so full of beans,

Yeah.

a hype man. I feel like he's like, Oh, he's got so much energy and I

That's why I love him.

Yes.

He gets so excited to DJ, and like, I never see DJs like, Oh yeah, another long night, another wedding.

yeah.

he loves it, he loves it. And he's there, and he's not just putting on a freaking Spotify playlist, he's actually mixing, he's got his freaking CDJs in front of him, like, he, yeah. Don't know if that's what they're called, but.

don't know, I don't know.

God knows, but yeah, he's there mixing on his little thing and he's mixing songs together as well, which he kept doing that with mine and like you'd hear a song and you'd be like AHHHHH and then he'd play something else like AHHHHH He's just trying to get you excited. Yeah

uh,

it.

mean, we also had a special performance from the bride herself.

forgot about that I forgot me words though. I've sang that song about 50, 000 times never forgot the words and then I was like, but I actually didn't care Do you know what? I actually weren't scared. I

you

it's because I went

Did you plan to do

Yeah, I, yeah, I did. And then I was a bit like, ah, I dunno if I'm gonna bother. And then I thought, yeah, I'm gonna do it. So I see Mark getting his pizza. I was like, ah, do you wanna whip this backing track on for me? Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sing. He was like, oh, oh, could you sing? I was like, yeah, I was a bit singing, you know? So I thought, why not? But actually I was so chilled. Do you know what?

Hannah sung to True Colors.

Yes.

Lauper, isn't it?

Yeah, it is. So I used to sing it in a band, and that was always, Martin used to always say, Oh, it's my favourite song.

Oh my

it was many years ago.

is so

Yeah. I did mus

my husband as well.

Was he?

start again and

Tim and what? Oh,

a drummer. Plays the drums.

you're with a drummer, nice.

with Ed Sheeran. Yeah he did!

Put your lips switch.

No, it um, in London.

Ah, okay, fine. Because that's where Ed's from, you know.

he went to a music college, it was a music college in London.

Oh, nice. That's cool.

It is cool. He's got a

Can't you ring him back up again and get some free tickets to something?

Yeah, I'm like, now I'm just like, oh, you know, I'm married to a famous drummer.

Yeah. I'm a totally married and famous drummer. Yeah, no, I Yeah, I did musical theatre like my whole life and then when I was older done some band stuff and yeah, yeah

so

holiday camp stuff And yeah,

Amazing.

it's just like a hobby now, you know, like just just a hobby. Just dabbling it now and again

my wedding.

Yeah, I thought why not? Why not? I do I sang on my 30th birthday as well.

Did you?

Yeah, I sang simply your best

Simply the

Simply the best. Yeah. Yeah, so I thought well I got you, didn't I really? But quite a lot of people, like Martin's friends, didn't know that I sing, and they're like, Oh, Hannah's singing. But I said, didn't I, at the start, on the mic, I was like, I couldn't come to my own wedding and not sing, could I? But then Martin was at the bar, everyone was calling him, because he was at the bar, I could see on stage, I was like, he's at the fucking bar. Ha!

Oh

I said it on the mic.

Oh,

dance, didn't we, and the the Cooper shuffle,

Yeah. That was good.

yeah.

That was, it was good watching people not knowing what to do, but just going along with it.

Yeah,

people was me.

yeah, I know. I was like, if you read the website, you would know the dance moves because we put videos on there of how to do it, but, you know, it was fun. It was fun.

But out of all of, this is going to be a hard question, but out of

Oh,

entertainment you did have musically, what would you say was your favourite?

I couldn't put a finger on it.

Oh no. It was

Couldn't do it.

You were like,

also, like, Mark played our Hendoo song with the drums, didn't he? That was really fun. We were drumming with our friggin flashy sticks.

That's

So there was so many nice moments from across, like I say, loved my first dance, loved the band, loved Dara singing. Pianist was great. The funniest thing with the pianist was my brother in law come up to me and was like I'm gonna request a song and turn my phone round. I turned his phone round and it was in Paris. And he was like, I'm gonna

you

ask

You can't

pianist if he can play this. So he went and asked him and the guy said, that's not really my forte. No, I don't know it.

Oh my god.

He came back to me and I said, how do you get on with the pianist? He said, yeah, we don't know it.

I mean it would be rude for me to ask you questions about your wedding and not mention the flowers

Oh, mate, they were insane.

We did I did hannah's flowers when I went

Yeah.

um,

stressful was it? Tell me, was there any issues?

No, wasn't any issues.

Lovely.

I I can't no I mean, I can't remember now about that

Nice.

of weeks, but that's far, that's further than I can remember these days.

fair enough.

everything went well. I had freelancers helping me, so big shout out to them and all the help that they gave

Thanks from me too. Yeah.

Um, So we did a, a huge, there's a huge fireplace in the room where Hannah had her wedding breakfast. So we did a big installation there. So that would be the sort of um, focal point for where they did in front of. Behind where they did their speeches.

Yeah,

Um,

quite a few photos there actually. We did quite, because it was raining during the drink reception, we did quite a few couple shots through there. We did our shots in there of like my group of friends. I feel like we really made use of it.

I took a few selfies there. I feel it was a good place as well for like a selfie kind

Yeah.

people have selfie walls, but I feel like it sort of created that kind of like

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

that was good. So and I would, yeah, so that was, that looked amazing. If I do say so myself.

It did look insane. Everyone was raving about the flowers. What they were also raving about was the next day, we basically laid them all out and you left, like, paper and scissors and string and people were just pulling them out and, like, making their own bouquets.

Nothing was wasted.

Literally nothing. No, there was, they all went and Everybody, I got tagged in so many pictures on Instagram where they were saying they lasted two weeks.

That's it. Quality

Two weeks. That's insane.

Quality.

Quality flowers.

No, that's really good actually considering they've obviously spent, they've not been manhandled but obviously they've been conditioned in cart

Yeah.

cool room then arranged and then put into flat oasis then taken out and then taken home and then to

Yeah,

weeks after that

two weeks like and that wasn't just one person that was like quite a few people were tagging me in Photos on instagram like still got these two weeks later.

Yeah. and sadly a lot of the time what happens after weddings is people just bin them like they

Yeah, which is so sad

it's

because you think they lasted two weeks I mean, obviously they probably weren't perfect But imagine if someone was getting married two days later, they could have had all them flowers and they'd have been fine

They were stunning, like

Yeah, they were so beautiful.

day they

Oh, yes, they were

so and you had obviously we did like tall centrepieces, like really

Which were beautiful

tables and then obviously your bouquets as well,

I did feel emotional then. Yeah when we did the first look of the room also

oh yeah, your first look,

I felt quite emotional. Also, loved the flowers down the aisle which we then put in front of the stage was perfect because that needed a little bit of zhuzhing up that space, didn't it? Because we had the nice fairy lights and with them flowers, so nice.

just added that extra. That's the good thing about those meadows. So if you are

Yeah,

for your wedding and you want to get something that's going to be reused, then I would go for the meadows. They go down the aisle, they create a really, really amazing aesthetic for your photos down the aisle, but then they can be reused like Hannah had in front of a stage

yeah.

or in front of your

Top table,

as

of places. Yeah, they were so nice. Loved them.

good. I'm glad. I even managed to get you some peonies. So, you

I know, yeah.

I can, but I did.

The bouquets were so nice. So nice.

they, do you know what? I was really worried that the peonies were gonna open too much, but they were just perfect. You know when everything just goes right?

Yeah, yay!

was a good flower day.

I hope you felt proud of yourself when you sat there as well, like, yeah, I did these flowers.

this

Was everyone on your table like, oh my god, the flowers are so nice.

People were more like, oh you don't look as fat as you look on your podcast.

What? Did someone

at

that to you?

no,

I was gonna say!

no. Not like that, no. Because obviously when we're filming them, to start with, I get more and more swollen

Yeah, you do, because you were swollen. Yeah, you were pregnant. Yeah.

Yeah, also had a few issues. So I was, like, swell, swell. And

Yeah. Oh, it's you!

few people, obviously, see me in real life and are like, Oh, you don't

so funny.

Well, I'm not pregnant anymore.

Yeah, literally.

no, it was funny, though. I mean it, like, it didn't offend me at all. I thought it was a joke.

Oh no, but it looked amazing in the room. That's the other thing is I didn't see like, everybody's reaction.

Yeah.

you know when everybody walked into the room, obviously everyone got announced in to sit down. I'm a bit like, oh, I really want to see like, what people were like, wow, you know?

that's the thing. I feel like When you get to see it for the first time, and then obviously seeing other people's

Yeah.

to it, but obviously photographer, videographer will get all of that,

Yeah. Cause I didn't care at the time. I was singing to my, my acoustic guitarist. I was having a lovely time.

a lovely old time. So another thing we spoke about a lot was your food and that you were having a barbecue and a kind of like serve yourself style.

Yeah.

Um, and obviously as well, Being at the wedding from like a guest point of view for me, it ran so smoothly. Like I've

Mm.

obviously I've been to weddings where um, we've been sat waiting for hours to get

no.

while they go table by table. This was like seamless and there was no waiting around. I didn't get hangry. Like it was

Yes.

And I liked the way that, cause obviously I know you'd sort of explained it to me, but it was kind of different to how I'd maybe envisioned

was different. So, it was supposed to be like a barbeque in your back garden. So,

Yeah.

on the barbeque, barbeque and you've got all your salads and stuff out and people just go up and down as they want to. But obviously we were expecting it to be nice weather.

yeah.

the drinks reception, I think it was raining so much. I think, I can't really remember. That's how little I gave a shit about the weather. I All I wanted was a dry ceremony and after that, I think it rained at the drink reception. So the caterer manager came up to me and said, like, do you mind changing it? So we just get everybody in to sit down.

Yeah.

like, no, you know what? Do what you want to do. I honestly, I don't care. And then they did it table by table. And actually, cause we only had five tables. It was absolutely fine.

Yeah,

It was, yeah. I didn't notice that, like, I was eating and then somebody else, another table wasn't and, like, I was finished and they weren't. Because actually, because we were chatting and stuff, like, when we were eating, like, I think everybody had then got up and got their food anyway, so it was fine.

No, it was perfect and, and also like, I feel like your vision where you, you know, you said you wanted like, really colorful salads and

Yeah.

and

Mhm.

I feel like it really was like that. You kind of went up and helped yourself, so you had like, really nice cuts of meat and

Yeah.

and there was like, all these salads

The salads were immense, weren't they? Everyone was really raving about the food.

And a moment please for the cheesecakes. Aha. So good.

I'm so glad we did that.

Oh, it was amazing. So basically you had like, was it, it was just, it was a plain cheesecake, then you chose your toppings.

Yeah, so there was vanilla cheesecake and then there was baked cheesecake. So, yeah.

Bakes not my thing, but the other one, the,

quite a few people said that. I'm like, hold on. That's my

fave? Oh no, I can't

Love it.

I love cheesecake. What would you call it? Like no baked cheesecake?

Yeah, just like vanilla cheesecake.

cheesecake. I love,

Yeah.

god, but you had like, you had like Oreo and then Lotus biscuit and then also the sauce,

Yeah. Cooley.

Coolie.

Fudge sauce.

good.

That fudge sauce was insane.

I'm so hungry now talking about it, I need to

I know, I could eat it all again. Oh,

worked well and I think obviously having, cause you coordinators on the day.

yeah.

honestly, like obviously they're getting people up and, and getting them through like to go and serve themselves. So that was all, it was all just like really, it really

Yeah.

and I feel like, yeah. If you're thinking of doing like a serve yourself kind of style thing for your own wedding, then definitely I think you need to have a coordinator or somebody that's sort

a hundred percent.

organizing that.

Of course.

yeah, a

No, it went really well, everyone, we got really good feedback on the food. And I was happy about that because everyone just wants to get fed and like, and I don't think, I think everybody liked something, you know. Which is good.

Yeah. No. Amazing.

And what about the drinks? Were all the drinks good?

Oh, drinks are amazing. Yeah.

Good. Do you know what though? It's so annoying because the couple of days before the wedding we went to get beer and Martin was like, I plan to get like, I can't even remember how many, but anyway, I think we got about 70 beers in the end and we had About, I think we had 45 in the day. No, it was more than that. It was 50 in the day in the end. But Martin was like, well, about 15 of them aren't drinking, half of, only half of them will drink beer. So

Yeah.

eat that, you're not gonna, I think I was planning on getting about 100 beers, and I think in the end we got about 60, 70. He was like, we've got more than enough Hannah, we're gonna have a beer, taking beer home. So anyway, we had the beer bath, didn't we?

Yeah. Amazing.

Of, thankfully, thanks to you for delivering it in your van. And we'd filled it up with all these beers and ciders and stuff. We're about to go and sit down for the meal and I look in it and all the beers are gone! And I was like, is that all the beers? And they're like, yeah, all the beers are gone. And I was like,

That's

Martin, I told you

told

we should have got more. And he was like, well, it's fine because everybody had a couple of beers and now they're buying them at the bar. And I was a bit like, oh yeah, but I

I thought there

don't know.

of alcohol. I mean, I

Yeah, another one of my friends said that. She said normally you get like, yeah, she said normally you get like one or two drinks,

Yeah.

like in the arrival drinks, but she said there was loads of different ones.

they kept coming around topping me up, it was amazing. And then also the cat on the canapé, I mean they were lovely

So good.

yeah the drinks, I would say that sometimes you feel like it's a bit tight, but it was like free flowing. I mean,

Yeah.

for a single drink. Neither did Richard.

Love that! Yes!

like, woo! amazing.

Yeah, because we asked them at the end, I don't think they'd normally allow that, it's just because it was me, but normally, at the end of the meal, they'd put all your wine away, but they put it all in the bath for me, so people were just going and topping up their wine all night, which was great, because all we had left the next day was about four bottles of wine, which we just gave out to other people, because I really didn't want to take any of it home, and yeah, it was great.

So it would have

No, it just sits around, doesn't it?

yeah, like,

Yeah.

or whatever. I hope it wouldn't in my house, but

Yeah, I've got two bottles of non alcoholic Prosecco sitting around, but that's it.

Oh,

I'll drink that at some point.

Yeah, at some point. And then obviously after we'd all like chowed down you had your speeches.

we did.

and you did a speech as

I did. Yeah.

But I thought it was a really, really nice touch that you actually had like Basically, a freestanding microphone you got up

Yeah.

speeches, but then everyone had their own song

Yes.

them! It

got that from?

amazing!

That's what they always do at Indian weddings because they always have a DJ throughout the whole day and the DJ always plays a song. And one of our friends on our table said to us, did you pick that? Cause it was her husband and we did Drake's, standin from the bottom now we're here. Cause that's Martin and one of his, his best man. It's one of their favorite songs. She was like, did you pick that? Or did the DJ just play it? And I was like, no, we picked, we picked all the songs.

was a real, like, that was awesome. And

Yeah.

how cool though, that obviously because you go and you do lots of weddings,

Yeah.

you've seen at a wedding, you've

Yeah.

then you're like, obviously using it on your own, which is, which is great. I love that.

Yeah, and we all picked them ourselves, so I picked mine, Martin picked his, Kayanne picked hers,

I can't remember.

mine was time after time, Cindy Lauper, yeah.

love a bit of Cindy.

Yeah, me too.

Oh,

Yeah,

but I thought that was amazing. That was so good.

I felt like they didn't go, I mean, this is from me, obviously I was doing a speech, but I didn't feel like they dragged, and I think looking at the time, I don't, I don't, I think,

No,

I thought they were a good amount of time. His best man's speech was so good at all of them were my, my,

were amazing.

yeah, my bridesmaids was amazing. Martin's was incredible. I dunno where that man has got his like words from. Honestly. Gee, it was so good, wasn't it? I was

so

like,

I loved it. And yeah, I feel like they were all very engaging. Like sometimes you feel like a species go on and you're

yeah,

mind like wandering, but actually were, yeah, they were really, they were really heartfelt and yeah, special. So I really enjoyed them.

good.

Um, but yeah, all in all, it was an incredible day. It was, so good. And I was, I love to be there sharing it with you as well. It's

I'm glad she was. I'm glad she had a lovely time.

Are you, how do you feel now that it's obviously sort of all finished? How are you

Yeah, good. Like, I don't feel like I'm like, on the wedding blues or anything. Like, to be honest, but I think it's because it's my life. Like, I've come back on, boom, straight into weddings again. It's a lovely experience. Yeah, we had a great time. You know, nothing's ever perfect, is it? There was things you probably didn't even notice, but there was little, couple little things. But I just didn't really care on the day.

through the whole ceremony. Yeah, I

Someone should have said like

I

guys, can we sit down?

do we sit down and then I

I feel really bad that everybody stood. But, do you know what was so funny as well, is the

like we just sort of went when we'll just sit down went with it, you know, like

amount of times I like looked around at people, like, you know, like when we were doing the readings.

oh, I bet she's looking around thinking why is anyone

No, because I would have said to them, you know, get everybody to sit down. I didn't even know, I didn't even click. Like that's how, like, out of it you are. Like there's little things that people have mentioned to me and I'm like,

it's

Really?

You are literally in your own little planet

Yeah. I felt really bad, but was it, was it horrific?

No, it was fine. I think I just feel like we were all there. We were just all in it together So we just kind of went for it. I don't think yeah, I Mean I I was like do I sort of sit down and everyone else to sit down? No, I

at the front, like, I don't know, she noticed, to flag it. Like, her guys are

was fine, honestly, it was fine.

our celebrants aren't actually celebrants.

No, so they wouldn't know to Yeah, of course, like, it's quite a big thing, isn't it? Like, doing that for someone's ceremony. I feel like there's a lot to think about. And they did an incredible job, like, it was so It was so So good. Like so charismatic and it was really fun and funny. And like, you could just tell that you were like, you know, it was so, I wouldn't even worry about it at all, but

if I'd have

we did all stand, but

a joke out of it. I'd have been like, you

I know I thought in a minute, yeah, she's going to say, but you never did. And I thought maybe, maybe it's meant, maybe we're meant to be standard. I don't know.

But it's so funny, one of my coordinators was like, we didn't have to bring all them bloody chairs down because no one sat anyway.

Oh, that's quite funny. Yeah, of course they lugged them all down. I was thinking that as I was standing there like, Oh, these chairs have been moved around quite a bit.

didn't

Perhaps we should sit down. Oh, but no, it was an amazing day. So we've got some questions from listeners for you.

cool.

so I'll go in for the first one here. Is, is there anything you regret either doing or not doing?

Not saying, let's get this taxi going. And get in there 10 minutes

Oh, yeah.

have had

Yeah.

But,

Yeah.

at the end of the day, we wouldn't, but then there's pros and cons, because we wouldn't have got that cool thunder clap at like the most

Yeah, exactly.

and

Yeah.

was talking about that all day for the rest. Can't believe that's

Yeah, exactly.

that

It's like a novelty thing, people will remember. You want that.

but yeah, like nothing major. Anything I regret, anything doing or not doing, nothing that I don't do, unless when I get my photos back, I don't know if I'll be a bit like, oh I didn't get the photo without personal, but I just think you can't worry about things like that, because if you worried about getting a photo of every single person, you'd literally be taking photos all day and you wouldn't be able to immerse

Yeah.

experience. I definitely don't regret not doing that. Drink it. I had like I think I had like two prosecco's to water them down for me because I don't drink anyway but honestly I think

Yeah.

best thing to do because I just feel like Although obviously like I say I was in a bit of a daze and I didn't notice things I still Know the bits I enjoyed

Yeah.

fully I said to myself I don't want to get into like any like in depth conversations with people I just want to dance and enjoy myself and that's what I did. So yeah,

Yeah, and you remember everything with like a clear mind, don't you? It's not like foggy or like when you've had a lot of alcohol. So that's, that's nice, actually.

regrets. Stressed like the day before, but I just think that's human reaction.

human, yeah, that's human nature like, any, anybody would be like that, yeah. Yeah.

me questions. I was like, why are you asking me this now? It was just general kind of story, and then yeah, it was a bit annoying,

I

there you go.

feel like that's part and parcel of getting married though, isn't it? Having a wedding, people just ask, well, as we, as we came to find out, we we went through all the funny and weird questions that people ask you. Oh, come

come on guys

on. So someone else has asked, what surprised you the most?

I think how just like in your own little world you are and just how

Yeah.

like, nothing, you just, literally, I, how I switched, Friday you saw me, I was stressed, I was really stressed, I know I was taken out on you, well, not taken out on you guys, but you know, I was stressed and I was like, why is this like this, and why is this like

I was, I was just, I was just there in the background doing my flowers.

list and stuff with like, my coordinators, didn't even read through it. was just like, they were just like, Hannah, just go. It was

Yeah, just leave.

just little things that, like, were cropping up. I didn't think it was going to take us very long to set up, and then things were cropping up that were taking us long. And, yeah, it was just, it was quite stressful. But the way I just switched, and just switched off, and things like, the day before I could have cried at the thought of having my ceremony under, like, basically, like, a marquee.

Yeah.

well, it was like a giz like a giant gazebo kind of thing, you know, and the fact, I think, I was like, Oh, I've got to come to terms and I might have to do this, but on the day I just didn't care. I was just like, whatever. Yeah,

I say it all the time, like, you literally, all these little things you worry about beforehand, they just, they literally just disappear on the day, they really do.

is, it

yeah, just goes to show.

does it? I think, I was trying to

No,

back,

it's spelled.

really bad during the drinks reception because I know all the staff was soaked,

we're all, we're all underneath like the canopy thing, yeah.

actually, what my coordinators were saying was it worked really well because it kept everybody in one space because we had the guitarist on the stage singing. We were under the gazebo and the drinks and the food were being brought to us, so the staff, bless them, was soaked, but we,

Yeah.

Having a great time. So

Yeah, no, it was lovely.

surprised me and obviously I've been in the industry a long time. I see a lot of the way that people react to things and they get stressed about things and I see it on Facebook groups all the time and you always think, my guests are never going to, my family and friends would never be like that. So wrong. It, when it comes to weddings, a couple of people really shocked me about

Oh.

reacted to decisions that I had made

Yeah.

our day to be. It's our day. It's mine and mine's day. And I'll

Yes, well, your, it's your day. Yeah.

And yeah, how people react to that and don't, and can't get over their own morals and their own beliefs and their own egos to kind

Yeah.

to accept what you want. That shocked me a lot, really.

know, and the thing is

never imagine being like that to another person. Like, I don't

No.

at your wedding. Like, what?

No. Honestly, and I think, do you know what? It's, that is absolutely their loss though. Because you're gonna still take away the fact that you had this amazing day. You stuck to what, you stuck to your morals. You stuck to what you wanted to do. And you, you held, you stood by the fact that it is, it is yours and Martin's day. And, you know You know, you've got these amazing memories, and then, oh, yeah, they're just gonna be sad and have missed out on the most amazing day.

And

So, that's, that's sad, innit?

I

Yeah.

that you think, Oh they're gonna be so excited about, you know, Like, during the wedding planning, like, asking loads of questions. There were some people who didn't, wouldn't have known a single thing about our wedding. Cause they never asked me a single thing

Never asked. Yeah.

Oh, they're, they're

But you'd have expected them to step up. Yeah.

people, like,

Yeah.

bridesmaids were amazing and they were just all so excited. But yeah, there was, yeah, some, some people that were so excited for us and others that, I mean, I'm sure they were, but they just, humans are

show it.

Human

Yeah.

Very

It is, and I do think, unfortunately, a wedding is one of these times in life where people do show their true colours.

Yeah

but, do you know what? As you sang, true colours.

Excited everybody was for us on the day and how like

yeah.

was like giving us like gifts for our honeymoon and stuff like, like everybody was so generous and excited for us and happy for us and you know we couldn't have had it enough that they had a great time and that it looked beautiful like the flowers that you did and

Yeah.

was amazing and just, yeah. Yeah, that

Oh no.

I think just how like

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

how many people are gonna dance and how many people are gonna get drunk I could not tell you who was drunk that night and who wasn't because I honestly like and considering I wasn't drunk drinking I wasn't drunk, but honestly, I couldn't tell you because I just didn't really care I was having a great

No. You're in your own bubble.

was only me and like two other people in the dance floor, but I didn't care. I just carried on.

It's still good.

what it is. And then there was

Living the dream.

heaviness. That's what happens at weddings. So things like that, I think you can really get caught up in it and actually doesn't matter on the day.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't. Well, I have loved speaking to you about your wedding day.

have had that without you. And I'm just so grateful. And I love

Oh, you're so welcome. Oh, I love you. I'm just so glad I got to do them for you, to be honest with you. It was like, it was just, I just loved it. You know, I love to see people happy and their reaction to when I do flowers for them. But obviously when you do it for a friend, it makes it more special. So, and to be there on the day and to see your reaction to the room on the day, your first look.

immense it looked. So I'm sure that was, hopefully

yeah,

for you.

it was. I'm terrible at taking a compliment, to be honest with you, but it was lovely. It was lovely to hear. And, but to be honest, my main goal was that you and Martin were pleased and you were, so that I was like, yes,
