THE WEDDING THAT WAS
Every little girl lays awake at night dreaming of the day she gets dressed up, her most loved walk before her as her Dad leads her to the hands of a man she has dreamt of. Teary eyes look on as two love birds say "I DO"
One frosty Tamworth morning three girls awake in a villa that overlooks the country landscape, similarly five boys awake to the sound of beer cracking. What the boys spend their morning doing remains a mystery. The girls crawl out of bed and head to Runway a local hair and makeup studio in the heart of Tamworth. Greeted by the Mums and Grannys they spend a few hours together getting ready. With stories being told laughter fills the room you can feel the warmth beaming.
'Lets just get some nuggs' echos throughout the car as we pull into the local Maccas drive through, nuggets chips and don't forget the sweet and sour. Three girls that are dolled up and look like they belong on the victoria secret runway make their way back to the villa. Laughter fills the air as they tell stories. The one and only @lens.of.rosie appears snapping away, we go over the days plan. Slipping into a white gown and clipping the pearl filled veil we quietly get ready as some patiently awaits outside.
Sparks fly as the Bride walks towards her father, love is exchanged through a deep hug and emotions blossom. He knows the countdown is on to gives his little girls hand to another man. Gathering in the car ensuring not to crinkle a dress or smudge a thing the four are on route to @thepavilliontamworth
At the end of the isle stands one sweaty and shaking groom ready to take his lover by the hand and commit to the rest of his life, next to him stand four of his biggest supporters. Excitement and love fill the air as a hundred of their favourite people watch on, one rust orange dress at a time they walk by admiring the love that is blooming.

In sync father and daughter link arms on beat walking through the people she treasures most, two sets of eyes lock together. The silence is broken by a giggle all nerves disappear as two lovers gather hands.
Together is 'home' for them.
