At ICKOOTU we pride ourselves on being prepared for any eventuality, in fact
it's become a standing joke that whatever you could possibly need in an
emergency can be found in my 'back-up bag'.
Of course, you would always expect your photographer to have a back-up
camera and spare lenses at a wedding, but my magic bag of just-in-case items
has come to the rescue on many occasions - safety pins that have spared many a
bride's modesty, mints for grooms panicking about pre-ceremony pub breath,
plasters for killer-heel issues, tissues for emotional mums, spare confetti and
even a sewing kit that has re-made an entire bridesmaids dress with seconds to
spare to name just a few.
All
of that, and you can imagine my horror upon realising at last weekend's wedding
that there was something I had never thought to include in my bag - spare
shoes!
On the lovely walk from the pub with the boys to the pretty village Church on Saturday, one of my shoes
broke on the way! I just have to send HUGE thanks to our bride's lovely aunty
who saved me with the incredibly kind loan of her comfy evening flip flops to
save my
embarrassment
through the ceremony! The reception onwards saw me working barefoot, so I am
particularly thankful that this was a festival style wedding, so I fit right
in!
I can't wait to tell you (and show you!) all about this wedding, it was
absolutely bursting with the most beautiful details and ideas, an absolutely gorgeous and
lovely couple, family and guests who made us feel like family too from the minute
we arrived. We'll be back with all of that once the photographs are ready, but
for now I just wanted to send my thanks to Anna's aunty - I don't know what I'd
have done without you (apart from embarrassing myself further!). And Anna and
Dan, it was such a joy to share your amazing day. Hope you are having a great
time on your 'mini-moon' and we'll speak to you soon!
Lots of love,
Caroline, and the not so embarrassing Eleri
