While friends and family mingled over canapés, the couple took a short walk along the cobbled streets of Chester and the iconic Chester Wall, which added real interest to the photo album. Next, it was on to Chapter House, where the couple had opted for an Italian feast instead of a traditional wedding breakfast.
The colour scheme for the wedding would be inspired by Beth’s sapphire ring, with plenty more stylistic choices to follow. Beth explains, ‘We love to travel and spend weeks at a time exploring by train. During the time of our wedding, there was an exhibition at the Cathedral with a model railway, so we decided to name our tables after the cities we visited on that first interrail trip.’
The couple is also LEGO fans and found creative ways to include it in the festivities; the little boys wore LEGO bow ties, there was a LEGO cake and the top table had two LEGO cherry blossom trees, in homage to the scuppered Japanese honeymoon – thanks Covid!
With bellies fit to bursting, it was on to the speeches. Beth’s dad spoke about how hard the couple had worked to pull off a wedding, while best man Sam and the groom ensured we weren’t short on tears.
