She is one of those many women who dared to do what they want and gave two hoots about what others think of her. She wrote in a blog:
“Most girls dream of the day when it’s their turn to scroll Pinterest and shop windows for that white dress…The thing was though, I never saw myself in those white dresses.”
As stunning as she looked, so did her husband who wore something absolutely offbeat for a groom.

He paired a maroon dinner jacket, paisley shirt and a black bow tie with what Sophie says:
“Women’s black wax-coated jeans because he couldn’t find men’s that were tight enough”!
What a dapper fellow he looks! In fact, it was her husband who suggested she wear black when they got engaged because he knew how much she loved wearing black. She thinks:
“It is classic. It looks good on just about everyone. It’s bold, it’s sexy, it’s daring.”
And, we could not agree more! The bridesmaids looked chic in their coordinated black outfits too!

“Our wedding’ was simply a big party bash, where we served pizza and paella, sacked the wedding cake for a Mr. Whippy Van instead and served a Cachia favourite of Ouzo all night.”

When her unconventional choice of wearing black went viral, Sophie had a perfect response for it:
“I don’t really see it as a bold choice, or taking a risk. I simply see it as me wearing exactly what I wanted to on my wedding day, not what I thought I had to wear.”
