Tom & Charlie held their DIY beer garden wedding and we are absolutely wishing we were there based on all of the smiles and laughter on everyone's faces - it looks like everyone is having just the best time.

She spent hours/ days doing this and I cant thank her enough, they were beautiful!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; "><img src="../blogimages/198073245/pretty-and-punk0055-nathan-walker-photography-nottingham-wedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 1024px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Oh, and we also had quotes from the Peep Show as centre pieces - me and Tom love that show! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Watching people laugh at our table names and try to work out the reference was one of our highlights from our day.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"=""> </span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"="">The Dress</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I purchased my dress from a charity shop for 150!

Also an honourable mention would have to be the joint best man speech (complete with a projector with pictures) it made me cry with laughter and just made everyone know Tom a little better!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"=""> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We were joining names in becoming Mr & Mrs Mrs Mathews-Bee, so we both got tattoos of a bee to celebrate the day I placed mine on my arm and Tom got his neck tattooed!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; "><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"=""> </span><img src="../blogimages/198073245/pretty-and-punk0092-nathan-walker-photography-nottingham-wedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 1024px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"="">When Tom and I were having our photos taken in a corn field and dancing with no music!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"=""> </span></b><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"="">Advice to other couples:</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" arial",sans-serif"=""> </span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">It doesnt have to cost an arm and a leg!
