Sarah & Daniel’s Bank Holiday Wedding at Houchins

I love an August bank holiday wedding. As the summer comes to an end, even if it’s a school night, it doesn’t hinder the joy of celebrating late into the night – the last hurrah of summer.
This is especially true when the band Eddie & The Murphys began the evening with a beautiful rendition of ‘Your Song’ for Sarah and Daniel’s first dance. It was a perfect choice for a lovely couple after a wonderfully relaxed wedding day.
