What is your most memorable wedding?
I did a beautiful Wedding in a Country venue. The bride was extremely hungover from the night before which was a first for me! As we're all the bridesmaids. I managed to make them all feel and look fresh whist they continued on the prosecco. It was very lively to say the least, I was the only one stone cold sober, luckily they all made it to the service looking beautiful, they seem to sober up quickly as they left for the service too.
