The day began just around the corner from Worsley Court House, where Amanda and Dave were getting ready in a charming boutique hotel that had become their little oasis for the weekend. Amanda shared an emotional moment upstairs as she revealed her dress for the first time to both her father and stepfather—tears, hugs, and proud smiles all around. Meanwhile, downstairs, Dave was suiting up in something a little less traditional: a custom-made Viking outfit, complete with a leather tunic and ceremonial brooches, a nod to his love of Norse history and epic fantasy. He was joined by his dad, who helped him with the finishing touches and offered a few quiet words of encouragement before the big moment. It was a morning filled with laughter, nerves, and a palpable sense of anticipation, setting the tone perfectly for the day ahead.
The wedding ceremony unfolded at the beautiful Worsley Court House—an elegant, traditional building tucked into the heart of Manchester. With its exposed beams, leaded windows, and historic charm, it was the perfect backdrop for a day full of meaning. The ceremony space was intimate yet grand, with soft autumnal light filtering through and warm seasonal florals lining the aisle. Amanda made her entrance flanked by both her father and stepfather, each holding one arm as they walked her toward a tearful Dave. Standing at the end of the aisle in his Viking attire, he could barely hold it together as he caught his first glimpse of Amanda in her dress. It was a moment that seemed to freeze in time—silent, powerful, and full of the kind of emotion that stays with you forever.
One of the most touching parts of the ceremony came as Amanda and Dave read their personal vows to each other. Both were beaming with happiness, but their voices trembled as the weight of the moment settled in. Amanda paused more than once, smiling through tears, trying to steady herself as she spoke about their journey and the quiet strength Dave had brought into her life. Dave, usually the jokester, found himself momentarily lost for words—his usual wit replaced by raw, heartfelt emotion. Their vows were full of honesty, warmth, and gentle humour, capturing the beautiful balance they share: light and love, depth and joy, all wrapped up in a moment that had everyone reaching for tissues.
After the ceremony, guests were welcomed into the reception space—warm, inviting, and full of character. A delicious three-course meal awaited them, featuring seasonal dishes that felt both comforting and elegant. Laughter and chatter filled the room as plates were cleared and glasses refilled, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable set of speeches.
Amanda’s dad was the first to speak, delivering a heartfelt tribute to his daughter that had the whole room welling up. Dave followed with a beautiful mix of sincerity and humour, sharing moments from their story that had everyone smiling through their tears. But it was Amanda’s head bridesmaid who truly brought the house down—her speech was the perfect blend of cheeky jokes and touching memories. She shared stories of how Amanda and Dave first met, little quirks from their relationship, and gave a hilarious rundown of “life with Amanda,” before closing with a line so moving, it became the final moment in their 12-minute highlight film. It was a speech that left everyone laughing, crying, and holding each other a little tighter—an unforgettable moment in a day full of them.
Amanda and Dave’s wedding was the perfect blend of personal touches, heartfelt moments, and joyful celebration, all set against the charming backdrop of Worsley Court House. From the very start, their day felt deeply rooted in who they are—local to the area, deeply connected to family, and full of character. While Amanda’s autumnal vision shaped much of the styling, it was the atmosphere of genuine love and togetherness that truly defined the day.
The little details wove everything together seamlessly. Guests enjoyed a thoughtfully curated three-course meal that felt both elegant and comforting, with a beautifully styled reception space reflecting the warm, seasonal tones of the day. Speeches brought laughter and tears—especially from Amanda’s dad, Dave, and her head bridesmaid, whose heartfelt (and hilariously accurate) speech became a standout moment, even closing their wedding film with a line that left no eye dry.
The colour palette drew from the rich tones of autumn—burnt orange, deep greens, soft creams, and golden accents—which played beautifully with the traditional wood and warm lighting of the venue. Dave’s Viking-inspired outfit added a fun and meaningful twist, while Amanda’s classic gown brought a perfect balance of tradition and elegance. Their vows, spoken with trembling voices and beaming smiles, captured everything they felt for each other in real time.
As the evening rolled on, the celebration only deepened. Surrounded by their closest friends and family—most of whom live nearby—it wasn’t just a wedding, it was a celebration of community and commitment, of laughter and legacy. For Amanda and Dave, Worsley wasn’t just a venue—it was home. And their wedding was a beautiful reflection of that: full of heart, joy, and moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
