A couple whose wedding day coincided with Storm Boelo said last-minute changes caused by the weather did not ruin their day, “it made it”. Leigh and Paul Hutchinson had planned to surprise their wedding guests with a glass of fizz at the top of Blackpool Tower, but high winds forced the venue to close the area. Instead, staff arranged a private bar on the upper balcony of the Tower Ballroom and later cleared the dance floor so the newlyweds could share their first dance there. “They did something really special for us,” Leigh said. “It made the day so much more than we could have ever imagined.” The couple met 10 years ago and decided they wanted a low-key wedding at the chapel next door to The Beach House where they met. Leigh said: “It was just going to be us. A quick wedding and a meal with family afterwards. So it spiralled to say the least.” Source link
