Ele and Tom felt truly blessed to have all their amazing friends and family standing by their sides as they said their vows to one another and became man and wife. Ele got to wear the most beautiful wedding dress which was totally handmade by her mum. Just so special and is now a dress that will become a family heirloom she will hopefully get to pass down to her daughter one day. They were also very lucky to have Woodlock play at their ceremony and reception. This band had written a song called Eleanor which Tom had asked Woodlock to write two years earlier when he proposed (the song was playing in the background when he popped the question). Having them at the wedding meant they could dance their bridal waltz to this amazing song that meant so much to them both.
When asked Ele said “the most memorable moment of the day for me would be walking arm in arm with my dad and turning into the aisle and seeing Tom for the first time that day. The massive grin on his face and the tears in his eyes will be a beautiful memory I will keep with me for a lifetime.”
Thanks to these amazing contributors to this gorgeous wedding.
