He had a bit of a pub crawl and I went to the Ice Bar in London.

Did your groom help you with the wedding planning?

He helped with a lot of the arranging and contacting the travel agents and hotel.

Did you use confetti to plan your wedding? If so, how did the website help you?

Used it to budget and as a countdown.

Did you buy any confetti products for your wedding? If so, did you visit a store, buy online or by mail order?

Insurance by mail order.

Tell us about your outfit, and where you bought it.

It was an Angel Bride dress from the Wedding Warehouse in Slough. It was the first dress I tried on and despite trying others I knew it was perfect for the location.

We had a civil ceremony.

Where did you hold your ceremony?

The Ice Chapel at The Kakslauttanen Hotel in Finnish Lapland.
