Myself and my partner got married in Cyprus at a very small wedding with close friends and family (17 people) it was lovely and everything we both imagined 30 degrees heat in October with our close friends!
I rush into things and I always have done! We had a baby last June, went for a walk to braehead and found myself and my partner in tui booking our wedding!!
We decided that we also wanted to celebrate back home and looked into having a reception but when we visited Suzanne at coats she told us about the twilight wedding! Straight away, me being me we jumped on and booked it! I can honestly say it was the best decision ever!!! As it was just a very small wedding in Cyprus we decided to take the opportunity and do our wedding all over again and not only have a reception but have a second wedding!!!
Coats is the most stunning venue ever! Absolutely everything was perfect!
I want to say a special thank you to:
Makeup.byStacey - Stacey did both my myself and my mums make up and hair for the wedding! My mum loves glam make up but also never had her make up done before but I could tell straight away from my mums face that she loved it!!! Stacey did AMAZING!!! I got my hair and make up done from Stacey for the first time at my hen party and again I absolutely loved it. She is such a genuinely lovely person and felt like I had known Stacey forever! We hit it off straight away! Such a chatty lovely person 🫶🏼
Victoria Johnston Celebrant Victoria wonderful person!!! Recommended to me and I am bloody glad she was!!! An absolute angel sent from heaven! We met up and hit it off like a house on fire . Victoria had a great energy about her and I just knew we wanted. her from the first phone call we had and when we met I just knew we had the right person to marry us! An absolute star! When we got home from Cyprus and before the home wedding, Victoria emailed us over the wedding script .. I cried the WHOLE way through it because it was the most perfect and beautiful thing I’ve ever read and I couldn’t believe how much attention she had paid to both myself and my partner when we met for a chat. We did a hand fastening ceremony along with the sand ceremony as we have a “blended family” with kids brought in from both sides of the relationship so we felt it was the right thing. Victoria included all 4 of the kids to the ceremony and they loved it! You would Think kids would get bored at a ceremony but no! Our stood in absolute awe of Victoria as she spoke about our family unit !
Tracy McQuillan Tracy McQuillan Photography Tracy was our photographer and she was outstanding! We got a sneak peak of some pics within 24 hours!!! Nothing has ever been too much to ask from Tracy, she met us in several occasions, asking about what we were looking for in the photography and also took in what the kids wanted! We wanted to recreate a few things which we did in Cyprus like sparklers with the kids . What a lovely
Lovely person !!! I love the style of Photography and I really feel like I have met a friend for life 🤍 I have also bought a voucher to go for a family photoshoot as Tracy was AMAZING at what she did and for once the kids didn’t moan about getting their pics taken!!
