Watford Observer Leisure: What's on, food, theatre, cinema and Music in Watford and Hertfordshire

JOANNA FARRER AND SHAMIM AKSAN

Our Story: My partner and I are childhood sweethearts and have been together for 13 years, since we were 17 years old.

We have always dreamt of a lavish wedding, but due to financial constraints, have had to downgrade the size, and really consider what a wedding means to us.

We decided that it is the people you hold most dear who make your wedding day and the biggest gift is to have them there to share in your declaration of love.

It would mean the world to us if I became Bride of the Year, as it would mean we could afford a honeymoon, and I would be proud to be crowned with this title.
