This episode is perfect for any brides out there who are currently in the middle of planning or replanning a wedding taking place in 2020. Kat and her fiance originally planned their wedding day for April 2020 then postponed to December 2020 due to the current pandemic.
In that time they realised that being married was super important to them and made the decision to bring their plans forward to the summer of 2020 keeping within the current restrictions in the UK with only 12 guests.
We talk about the emotional impact of having a smaller ceremony, the drama of postponing and how it feels to BE MARRIED! And how they plan to celebrate with a larger number of friends and family next year.

Have you ever thought about dying your hair back to it's natural colour for your wedding day? This bride to be did exactly that! After trying on wedding dress after wedding dress she wasn't finding the perfect one to suit her red hair!
I'm a massive lover of red hair, something that Kirsty and I share in common. This episode I found quite interesting from that point alone. I can't imagine not having red hair, if anything I may be inclined to tone it down a bit but I can't imagine dying it a totally different colour. I just wouldn't look and feel like me.
