I was absolutely thrilled to be part of Nikki & Catherine's special day in May at Matfen Hall  in Northumberland. The couple are huge football fans and chose a black and white colour scheme for their wedding to celebrate their love of Newcastle United. 

Nikki's dress & and the bridesmaid dresses came from Mao Couture Bridal. Donna Ganley from Powder and Pin Ups in Sunderland did the make up for both brides.

Both Dads made lovely speeches, and their maid of honour, Roisin made a fabulous speech featuring props, lots of funny moments and even a message from Alan Robson from Metro Radio! 
Catherine wrote a poem for Nikki which she read out. All the speeches were fab, funny and moving!
