The night before the wedding, I was very carefully pressing my dress with a damp tea towel. The iron slipped just a fraction, but enough to melt a hole! After lots of hysterical sobbing and swearing, my intended said: "Please don't shout at me, but why not cover it with one of my punk patches?" I threw my arms around him and gave him a HUGE kiss! I think it made the dress. Such a happy accident!

So my aisle decorations are black lanterns and my fiancé’s favourite Lantern Corp from the DC universe is the black lanterns which are made up all all DC characters who had died (regardless of whether they had been resurrected or not).
So we are taking out the candles from the lanterns and replacing them with gold glitter skulls which will have names for each superhero that became a black lantern corp member.
In the evening they will decorate the Buffett table with some LED lights on them to turn them into glitter balls 😊

Fish and chip mini specials and donuts in the afternoon.
Table decor and cake and sweet Cart all based on seaside. Gifts for children were buckets and spades filled with rock etc :)

We had a sailing/sea theme with succulents for flowers and table decorations. My friend made me some beautiful glass bunting to hang in the windows. Each table name was a famous boat or ship....We even had Boaty McBoatface and Pugwashes Black Pig 🤣 I had secretly sewn silver charms of our star signs Pisces and Cancer (both sea creatures)!! on the side of the skirt of my dress that was a lovely surprise for my hubby and friends when they saw them

We have made our wedding very personal to us. My cousin is a celebrant so she is going to do our ceremony. We are having paper instead of real flowers as I make them Stems from Paper. My sister and her husband are going to sing. We have a busker for our day music. I have a best man as well as bridesmaids and my partner has both a best man and best woman. Lots of other little bits that make it personal to us. X
