Congratulations to Sophie and Ed who got married yesterday at the beautiful The Tournerbury Woods Estate on a gorgeous Autumn day 🍁☀️Driving into Woods in October is always a little concerning, especially with the recent weather we’ve had, but thankfully 3 nice days here on the south coast meant the ground was all good and they managed to have their special day using plan A = Outdoors. Special mention to Dougal for looking and behaving fabulous throughout 🐶 I loved his bow tie 😍 We hope you had a fantastic Day & thank you for booking Hector 😘
Every wedding day has its own story to tell, but sometimes something happens which you will remember for ever….Yesterday was one of those days 🙈😂 Funny now we can look back on it, but at the time even after all these years I was getting a little worried 😬 We (Hector) arrived to pick up the bride and father as planned and at 12.30pm, they and the 5 bridesmaids and MOTB came out (as planned) ready to leave. “We’re just waiting for the taxi to arrive”which was booked 2 weeks ago and confirmed again this morning. 12.45pm and still no taxi despite the bride being on the phone to this local company saying it’s her wedding day 😱 Their answer “We’re trying to find you a 6 seater” It was booked 2 weeks ago! You either have one or you don’t, in which case send two cars. What’s difficult about providing a car on time…🤷🏻♂️ it’s now 12.50pm (ceremony at 1.30pm) with a 25min journey to the venue…as luck would have it a VW transporter Kombi went by, so at this point I jumped into action and waved/shouted at them to stop and asked them if they could save the day! To which the lovely lady said yes sure as she had nothing else to do. A quick tidy up of said van and 5 bridesmaids and MOTB were on their way 👏🏻🥳 The rest of the day proceeded as planned and we still got the bride there on time to meet with the registrars. Claire if you do see this post you truly were a ‘hero’ and thank you for stopping when a random person (me) waves and shouts at you 😂 luckily you had your window down 🙏🏻 Not all heroes wear capes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
if you’ve read to here well done and apologies for the longer than normal post 😂
