C&S shunned formalities for a tipi wedding and a day filled with fun, food and frivolities. They opted for a Bring Your Own Cake, Mexican & Vegan street food, cheese boards & nibbles, fire pits & marshmallows and a playground of garden games.
Elegance, romance, champagne and a castle – is many a girl’s dream wedding. And it certainly was a dream come true for Simone and her groom Andy who flew in from Australia to have their wedding ceremony in the gardens of Sudeley Castle in the heart of the Cotswolds.
What do you get when a Kenyan bride and South African groom have a wedding at Hampton Manor? An awesome ceremony that includesBright colours, the bridal entrance to Game of Thrones (the groom’s choice of music), hymns, a rose ceremony, a heartfelt blessing by a family elder, a string quartet and Kisii tribal wedding traditions that included crowns, anklets, shells, a spear and a shield, plus more.
Forgive me but I’m shamelessly back-slapping and popping bubbles this month, as 5 years ago, on the 17th August 2012, I did my very first wedding ceremony for some dear friends- and I’m still here to share the tale. The journey along the way has been amazing and I’m eternally grateful to the all the people in my life who continue to make this path as a Celebrant (and the challenges!) so enjoyable…
