Couple who both have Down syndrome get married
A couple who both have Down syndrome have shared photos of the magical day they wed in a ceremony attended by 200 guests. Polly and Joe met eight years ago when they were both college students in Sussex, UK. The pair said their attraction was instant and in May they made things official by tying the knot in a ceremony that included a unicorn throne and singing waiters. Now, the couple have shared photos of their beautiful day with Daily Mail, and Polly hoped their story may help others. ‘It would be wonderful if our story could touch the lives of others struggling to cope with any kind of disability or inequality,’ she told Rocknroll Bride. ‘The greatest thing is to love and be loved in return.’ Polly explained she and Joe wanted their wedding to have a ‘festival’ vibe, which was achieved with stunning attention to detail. With the help of family and friends, tables were strewn with bunches of wild flowers in a variety of colours, while pastel-hued bunting hung from the sides of the reception marquee at Brewerstreet Farmhouse in Surrey. There was also a plant and flower stall, a plethora of helium balloons in pink and blue as well as waiters singing Ratpack tunes. ‘Our favourite parts of the day were saying I do, exchanging rings and dancing to Labyrinth’, Polly, who wore a white gown patterned with lilac detailing along with a long white veil, told Rocknroll Bride. ‘We also love that so many people came to celebrate with us.’ The couple love to sing and dance and before saying their vows they played the Abba song I do, I do, I do, with their guests joining in on kazoos. They then danced to Come What May - the song performed by Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor in the hit film Moulin Rouge - before exchanging rings made from vintage silver sugar tongs. A particular point of interest for guests was a white unicorn throne where the newly married couple posed for pictures by Leela Bennett Photography.Source: Mailonline
