We were clear how we wanted it to be. We wanted it to be small, intimate and we wanted our reception to be one big party where everyone just has fun. I didn’t want to take on any stress so literally everything was done and my house was an open house. I am doing my hair and make-up, people are walking in and out, friends are chilling in my wardrobe, décor and food preparations are going on, so that was literally an open house and how I wanted it to be. It felt so homely and beautiful, and it was just perfect.”
She added, “I was very clear, I dressed simply because I wanted to be comfortable. And I wanted to dance the most at my wedding which I did.”
