She said they also wanted pumpkins and didn’t wear traditional colours. Sophie said her dress was blush and James’ suit was “Dairy Milk purple”.

She also said they did a lot of the wedding decorations themselves, including having knitted pumpkins as centrepieces on the tables which were made by James’ mum.

They also had “hole-punched leaves with a heart hole-punch to make the confetti”.Speaking about walking down the aisle, Sophie added: “My mum gave me away – James was crying, I was crying and I looked over at my three older brothers and they were just in pieces. When James’ five-year-old nephew did a speech during the ceremony and quoted Winnie the Pooh – that was it. So many people were crying.”
