It’s a Yes, Nay and a Bark for Adelle and Danny’s Wedding

Adelle and Danny’s Wedding

There were two very special guest appearances at Adelle and Danny’s wedding at Hylands House last July. Paddy the horse and Ronnie the dog were amongst their nearest and dearest celebrating the couple’s wedding.

 

Hylands is a magnificent Grade II* white mansion house set in 574 acres of historic landscaped parkland.  Certainly, there was more than enough space for Paddy and Ronnie to have a run about.  “Hylands was accessible and welcoming to all our family including Paddy and Ronnie who had the best of time”, said Adelle.  The couple also surprised their guests with the appearance of a magician and wowed people with their first dance as they had secretly been having dance lessons.

The days of ‘Here Comes the Bride’ are over and couples are using a range of different songs to walk down the aisle, according to new research by Anvil Hall Wedding Venue in Gretna Green.

Anvil Hall, located in the country’s most famous location for weddings, is the venue for hundreds of happy couples each year. It sees the arrival of numerous combinations of flowers, theme colours, and musical choices to make the ceremony perfect.

Owner Heath Hampson has compiled the top ten songs that couples walked down the aisle to in the past year, and surprisingly, Mendelsson’s Wedding March does not make the list. It appears that couples are looking for something more contemporary or personal than the traditional tune.
