A standout moment was driving through Hyde Park and everyone pointing and cheering at the cars because at that point, we really were a rarity. “Our first dance was an overwhelming feeling of relief.” I couldn’t believe that after all the praying and hoping we had all got to the big day in one piece! I didn’t really sleep the night before but didn’t feel nervous, just excited! After the whirlwind of getting ready with my girls and lovely mummy in The Landmark London, I was very eager to see Paul. He looked so handsome I practically ran down the aisle dragging my dad behind me. “I don’t think it hit me that we were actually going to get married until the night before and so on the day I was almost crippled with nerves. Luckily Helen appeared at just the right moment and then it was just relief, massive relief that we had finally crossed the line and got married!” - Paul 46
