HOLLY & TOM: REAL BRIDE STORY from Vinctor's blog

Planning our date for the wedding was a disaster from the beginning! The wedding was originally planned for May 2020 - 24 months to the date we've got engaged. The first problem hit once the May bank holiday Sunday would be moved towards the following Friday; so our bank holiday Sunday wedding was now likely to be on a normal Sunday, causing difficulties for the guests to find the time off work. This was an issue that was not ever however once we entered lockdown before the bank holiday even happened.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the marriage was postponed to august nevertheless to September. When we were advised to postpone again, we chose to cancel all of the plans we'd in place for the marriage and started again with something different, in only 4 weeks.

We had originally planned to obtain married at Oldwalls the Gower, but due to the Covid-19 restrictions we canceled and planned our very own wedding in Tom's parents' backyard in Mountain Ash. We were fortunate enough they let's transform their garden by having a marquee, dancefloor, lighting, tables, chairs to create our very own venue.

How incredibly stressful! Hopefully, your dress shopping experience was easier.

I knew I wanted a well-fitted dress as I am quite petite, and I didn’t desire to be taken over with a big dress. I visited lots of wedding gown shops and tried on multiple short wedding dresses and fishtail dresses - a lot of I was getting frustrated and felt like I would never discover the one. It felt as though these were dresses that I had worn previously for proms or any other occasions.

My final shopping online experience was at feeltimes.com. It was different from what I had ever planned but I loved it – I felt just like a real-life princess! Here

Tell all of us about the day itself

Whilst planning the marriage for two years at Oldwalls the Gower I was very relaxed as the pressure is off once the venue assistance to you to plan, but I am not so organized whatsoever, then when it found planning a wedding in a month by ourselves the strain was an excessive amount of. It became very overwhelming with plenty of tears, but it had been worth it ultimately! It was perfect! I would advise brides to not take on all of the pressure of the wedding on their own and if you would like help just ask.

I always wanted to obtain married at St. Winifreds church as my family had gotten married there, so although our original wedding had got canceled I think it all turned out for the best and it had been better than we could’ve ever imagined! The garden venue looked every bit as good as any other venue also it honestly couldn't have been more perfect. The sun was even shining for all of us

We had a lot of issues within the run-up towards the wedding - our brand-new home got flooded in February and we'd to move in with our in-laws. Tom broke his leg playing football and is a cast for 6 weeks, that they still would have been for the original date in May. Then obviously the pandemic happened with me as being a nurse me, Tom decided it had been safer for all of us to move home so we lived with this dog lived upstairs for approximately 2 months with this spare room being toms office and kitchen! We are still unsure how we coped, and then the marriage drama included the postponed dates! We didn’t use whatever light after the tunnel, but somehow, we've got there also it’s been the worst yet best year in our lives
