Best moment: “There were a lot of great moments but one of the most entertaining was when my sister pulled out a pair of blue underwear during her speech indicating that it was my ‘something old and something blue!’” says Mandy.

Favourite detail: “I think our black, studded, dark red rose, skeleton cake takes the cake! It was delicious too!” explains Mandy.

Wedding song: “Dancing” by Elisa. “I had heard this song for the first time on So You Think You Can Dance and it instantly made me cry. I played it for Jamie and he agreed that it would be our song! ” says Mandy.
