Emma and Matt - 13th August 2011

I look forward to every wedding equally, but the wedding of Emma and Matt was made just that little bit more special as Emma is a friend of mine as well as a teacher at my son's school!!! Emma organised this wedding with such attention to detail and originality and it was a complete pleasure to have been part of their special day. To relieve the nerves and pressures on their day the couple had decided to be a little different and have their special wedding shots done before they said "I DO!" So we all went over to Rhylstone Gardens in Shanklin to have some fun!!! On return to the wedding venue the guests had been seated and all nerves had turned to excitement for the couple. Emma walked up the ailse on her father's arm accompanied by the couples two beautiful daughters as bridesmaids, bridegroom's nephew as page boy and Emma's best friend as Maid of Honor. Emma wore a stunning white gown embroidered with pink sequins, with the girls in baby pink dresses and all groomsmen in suits with light pink waistcoats. Emma carried a beautiful bouquet with summer gerbras. The couples originality went into the service and as well as the couple exchanging wedding bands their daughters also receive a ring for the eldest and a bracelet for the youngest with some very emotional words said - and yes I too began to well up!!!!! This day was full of extra special moments including an ice cream van, Mr Randini to entertain the children (and adults!!) personalised sticks of rock, popcorn and candyfloss machines and sweeties galore!!! And finally not only did Emma and Matt share their first dance together, but then Emma took her GrandFathers hand and waltzed around the room with such elegance. Emma Watts Photography would like to wish Emma, Matt and the girls a magical future and the line "the day we met Daddy on the hovercraft" will stay with me forever!!!!!
