The evening unfolded with heartfelt speeches from Lyndsey’s proud father, the groom Nigel, and his best man, and the bride herself, (more bride speeches please!) leaving everyone both moved and entertained. Sparklers were handed out to the guests as everyone braved the weather and made a sparkler tunnel for the new Mr & Mrs Underdown.
