Opening words at Lauren and Ollie's wedding on 27t Opening words at Lauren and Ollie's wedding on 27th June, 2026.

" To cultivate friendship in love means finding somebody who makes you  smile, who makes you laugh, but above all, who makes you feel safe." (Nietsche)

Ollie and Lauren had FOUND Love and friendship.

They never stopped smiling, laughing  and knowing that they were both safe in the eyes, and arms, of each other.🩷🩵💙🧡

And they have been together for ten happy years already and yet the look in their eyes seemed as vibrant and love-struck as though they had just met!

Ollie's youthful looks meant that he could only treat Lauren to a diet coke on their first date as the bar staff would not believe he was over 18! (we all loved hearing that !🤣)

Lauren and Ollie's siblings played a major part in their ceremony by reading their own words of love during a symbolic handfasting element.

Liz, Ollie's twin sister, wrote her own poem for them too - delivered with such heartfelt emotion felt by all. Here's the first verse:

 " Love is not only a spark,
 It's a promise made each day 
  To walk together through the light,
 And hold on tight along the way."
 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Many, many CONGRATULATIONS to the new Mr & Mrs R.

Lauren - I LOVED being with you all on your special day having known you for almost all of your life.🫶

Then ❤ Now❤ Forever

A year ago today, Luke and Rhiannon celebrated " a A year ago today, Luke and Rhiannon celebrated " a crazy little thing called love" in front of their family & friends and what a declaration it was! 

I'll never forget the opening of this ceremony.... Each time the beautiful chapel doors opened, they revealed a new style of entrance with music to match. 

" It's raining men" gave Luke and his groomsmen the aisle to dance down! 

"Man, I feel like a woman" allowed Charlie ( the honourary petal guardian) and the bridesmaids to bring us smiles. 

Alex walked his mother ( of the bride) in gently to her seat, changing the pace and ambience.

And finally the doors were opened to reveal beautiful Rhiannon and Graham to the romantic and emotional song," Speechless"by James T W. 

It was individual.
It was unique.
It was EXACTLY what Rhiannon and Luke wanted. 
It was THEM.

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary to you both. 

What a year 🩷

Much love,
Helen 🌻 xxxxx
