"The day was everything we hoped it would be — no fuss, low key, sunshine and just us!"We'd been laughing and joking all day and then suddenly, everything seemed to stop and we tried to get the words "I do" out without becoming emotional wrecks. It was awesome. I'll never forget that moment for the rest of my life.
