When Victoria & Alan attended a wedding fair at Anstey Hall near Coventry they realised they’d found their perfect venue. These two have to be the most organized couple I’ve ever known, and it certainly showed on the day when everything ran like the proverbial clockwork! We kept a wary eye on the weather, which eventually decided not to play fair, but it didn’t matter. Bridal preparations were very laid back & Victoria looked absolutely stunning in her Ronald Joyce dress with just the right amount of sparkle. She certainly lit up the room – quite a few tears of emotion were spotted & not just from the groom! The ceremony had a wonderfully happy feel to it and to reflect their shared love of Terry Pratchett’s writing there was a brilliant reading from one of his books. The rain stopped just long enough to get the shot we wanted of everyone outside the Hall, and I have to thank the super-helpful chap on reception who actually took the photo for me (couldn’t take it and be in it too could I…).
The reception room looked absolutely beautiful – full marks to everyone involved, especially Victoria who actually made the miniature jam pot favours herself, and Victoria’s mum Kate who made the scrumptious cake. More Terry Pratchett inspiration came in the table names – a little tricky for the uninitiated to pronounce! The food was lovely & speeches were great, especially from the best man who gave us a brilliant insight into Alan’s childhood! More friends & family arrived for the evening celebrations and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We certainly had a great time and wish them a wonderfully long & happy life together x
