Today, Stefan shares his memories of the day when Maeve and Stefan got married

“I will never forget the moment that I first spotted Maeve as she walked down the aisle with her father – she looked absolutely amazing, so stunningly beautiful but still ‘my Maeve’! Seeing all our family and friends together to celebrate our love, in such beautiful surroundings, the song we had carefully chosen, and of course my glamorous, glowing bride to be with a smile from ear to ear, I experienced an emotional outpouring that I never imagined possible, and it was all I could do to hold in the tears. It was the happiest, proudest and most emotional moment of my life… I’m lucky I had Maeve’s sister Hannah, her maid of honour, beside me whispering “keep it together Stef”!”

“While I’m sure it was delicious, I didn’t even taste the food, nor do I remember eating it, such was the elation I felt to be sitting next to my wife, and to be surrounded by the smiling faces of our family and friends. The reception passed in a flash, but I remember vividly the complete senses of joy, elation, pride and utter completeness that I felt that evening, dancing with my wife and watching all of our guests thoroughly enjoying the night and sharing in our happiness. It was a magical day. Whilst I may be slightly biased, it truly was about as close to perfect as a day could be.”

“It was also truly amazing to see all of the small details, which Maeve had envisioned and created so painstakingly, come together so beautifully to form an atmosphere which totally reflected our personalities, our relationship and our love for each other. All Maeve’s hard work and creativity paid off in creating a warm, personal and vintage feel which completely set the scene and mood for our beautiful ceremony and the following celebrations.”

Odyn paired a chocolate brown suit from  Strictly Formal and paired it with a white shirt and pink tie. To cap it off? A check hat that just added something a little extra to the whimsy of their wedding.
