Here
on the Bunney Blog, I have often discussed how our Grooms seem to be more
passionate about their wedding planning than the stereotypical ‘groom’
portrayed in the media and sometimes the wedding industry. It seems to me that most of our grooms really
do care about the planning and get involved, here is a perfect example of a
Bride & Groom working together to plan their perfect day, a day that
neither of them will ever forget and a day that neither Bride or Groom would
change for anything!
Michael & Stephanie’s English Countryside Wedding.
Before
the planning comes the proposal and Michael’s romantic proposal in the Cornish
countryside was a surprise to Stephanie, a shock discovery of a bottle of Dom
Perignon was quickly followed by a proposal!
“I told her she could only drink the champagne
if she agreed to marry me” Michael said.
Fortunately
Stephanie was thirsty and agreed. Once
there is a proposal there is a lot of hard work to be done. And Michael was definitely involved in the
planning!
“ I was
definitely involved as much as I wanted to be, Stephanie knew the things I
wanted a say in and the things that I didn’t have much of an opinion about. We
planned those things together and Stephanie was happy to arrange the other
things and checked with me before the final decision was made. It worked
perfectly for me.”
Not
all grooms feel the way Michael does about the wedding planning, but ultimately
it is a rewarding experience.
“I really enjoyed
seeing it all coming together and being able to get a picture of how it all
might pan out.”
Michael
was very involved in the planning and also had strong opinions on what he
wanted to wear for the wedding day.
“I didn’t want
anything fashionable or too fancy that’s not my style, so it’s quite a simple
suit made of English wool. I’m very keen on using British produce so it was
great that English wool was an option.”
Michael
decided that we should make his suit Made-to-Measure and we should hire suits for
the rest of the party. Michael enjoyed
the experience of visiting Jack Bunneys very much.
“It was
fantastic we travelled a few hours to get to the shop so it was always a bit of
a day out. The shop was full of character and the guys at Jack Bunneys were so
knowledgeable. I very rarely wear a suit so their advice was gratefully
received.”
A
countryside wedding surely requires a country Stag-do! So that means 4x4’s & Sheep dye no?
“We went down to
the West Country and did some 4x4ing then headed into a small market town for a
meal and too much to drink. On the Friday night my brother and a few others
managed to paint me in sheep dye. That was a little hard to explain when I went
into work on Monday morning. I’ll get him back.”
To
the day itself! And there were tractors with shoot trailers, apricot liquor to
keep the cold out and best man bingo! It
sounds and looks incredible. Some of the
touches so unique and personal, this wedding could only have been planned by
Michael & Stephanie.
“I felt surprisingly
calm on the morning and all the way up to when I first saw Stephanie.
Throughout the day we had lots going on so it was always nice when we spoke to
people to hear they were enjoying all the little things we’d done for them.”
“I was really
pleased with how the tractors and shoot trailers got everyone from the church
to Rushton Hall and the apricot liquor helped keep the cold away.”
I
don’t know about you but I have never heard of best-man bingo before! It sounds like an incredible idea, I have no
doubt we will all be playing this at a wedding very soon!
“Without the
best man’s knowledge we set up a bingo game for during his speech. Each table
had a grid of words and the winning team won a bottle of champagne. One table
cottoned on pretty quickly and started leading him to say the words on their
sheet. Not surprisingly they won the champagne.”
After
such an incredible day, Michael had a few words of reflection.
“It couldn’t
have turned out better. Everyone had a good time and appear to have enjoyed
themselves. I wouldn’t change a thing!”
Now
that Michael has been there and done that, what words of wisdom would he offer
to the next Groom-to-be.
“If you want
something to happen or be included in your wedding, fight the cause, it should
be personal for both of you”
Obviously
after such an incredible wedding, life must seem quite dull and boring?
Or
not…
“We went to the
Maldives for the week straight after the wedding.
Stephanie
planned it, she has amazing patience and read hundreds of reviews of different
islands and picked the perfect one.
I’m sat in the
maternity wing of the local hospital writing this so it was obviously pretty
special. Boy or Girl?”
