Well where do I start? Our journey began back in 2013 where we went on our first date and fell in love there and then. When people say they fell in love at first sight… that’s exactly what happened.

Our friendship blossomed over the next few years and we finally took the plunge and moved in together. We have been on a hard journey over the past few years after losing two baby boys in 2017 and then 2018 but these heartbreaking times made us the strongest that we could ever be. We finally had our rainbow in 2020 in our little boy, Theo. We enjoyed life with him for a few years.

Then on New Year’s eve 2021 just after Big Ben struck 12 taking us into 2022 Micheal got down on one knee in front of my family and he finally asked me to be his wife! I literally screamed YES!!

Only a few weeks later we found Pendrell and fell in love with the venue, we didn’t look anywhere else and booked it there and then. It felt like home and would be ours for a whole day. Perfect.

I was planning on starting to look for my dress in a few months time but then we found out we were expecting another baby. We were over the moon but wedding dress shopping was on hold. Elliot was born in June 2023 so I knew time was ticking on and I was extremely nervous about trying dresses on as I had put on weight and was not where I wanted to be for my wedding day.

I went to a few shops and nothing really felt like the one so booked an appointment at dream days. From my first appointment I was put at ease and every-time I mentioned my weight it was just dismissed. I was going to be a beautiful bride no matter what my size or weight.

The girls made me feel beautiful and my confidence started to come back. I tried on lots of dresses which was absolutely fine there was no rush and the girls just listened to the style I was looking for. Then I found it- THE ONE! I felt like a princess and I didn’t want to take it off.

So October 2023 I said yes and from then I went back many times with my 3 bridesmaids. Although they did not have their dresses from Dream Days it was no problem for them to come in and try their dresses on with me. They even had their dresses altered with mine which was so easy as we could collect them all a few days before the wedding altogether. They had been steamed and bagged up perfectly.

It was a scary journey for me not long after having a baby but my dress fit perfectly and I genuinely felt the best I have ever felt on my wedding day about myself at 40 years old! All my hang ups and worries went as soon as I looked in the mirror.

I knew I looked beautiful because as soon as Micheal saw me walking down the aisle he mouthed, ‘Wow!’ And started to cry! I will never forget that moment.

We had the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. Filled with love and laughter. It was such a relaxed day and we were so in love. From start to finish it was perfect. X
