Hannah and Mike postponed their wedding by almost a year due to COVID, finally tying the knot on April 3rd 2021. Although they organised most of it last year so weren't totally sure how much they spent, they know they wanted to keep the day affordable, with their only big cost being entertainment - in fact it was most of the budget!

If the pandemic has taught us anything it's that low key can still be really lovely! For Sabrina and Chris, who got married a few weeks before Christmas, this was absolutely the case. They had a Registrar's Office ceremony, followed by a quick pitstop in Starbucks to call some loved ones who couldn't be there, rounding the evening off with a meal with their two witnesses at the bride's sister's house.
