Video / I confess to you my free and beautiful wedding during isolation

2020 came with many changes. About 80% of the weddings planned for this year were postponed. For Keshia, the protagonist of this story took it to the end. Decided to make lemonade with the lemons that circumstances brought. And she confessed her wedding to British Glamor.

My husband and I decided to get married though amid the pandemic. Even though people think it was a strange decision we have our reasons to think otherwise.

We met 4 years ago. My husband's mother was a big fan of my sister, a finalist in The X Factor. Her son decided to bring her to the hall one day to entertain her and I was there to support my sister. This is how we know them. Because that night I went on stage and danced with my sister. He liked me and tried to connect with me on social media, but it was a time when I received a lot of invitations from my sister, so I ignored them.

Until two years later, someone reposted a post of his and I redistributed it too because I liked it. It was there that he found the courage to write to me: "Hey Keshia ..." from that moment we started talking.

We got engaged in May 2018, after two years together. He proposed to me during a trip to Paris, down the Eiffel Tower.

I thought we would do the wedding in the south of France, so we made another trip to plan it. We set May 23, 2020 as the date. In January of this year we had almost everything ready: the dress, the guests, everything.

In early February we painfully decided to postpone it until 2021. The guests wanted us to do something and push it. Our list was 120 people, we had invited the wide circle.

In March of this year I suddenly lost my father. It was a midnight attack and it was all very traumatic. I do not remember two weeks after his death. Nothing, I experienced a mental block.

I knew I did or would not do the wedding in May, without my father it would not be the same.

I had always dreamed of a big wedding, but growing up I realized that life should be taken as it comes. And we decided to shorten the list to 30 people, as much as the pandemic allowed. We introduced only the closest people, those we had close to good, but also to bad.


A good part of the preparations I made myself, with the help of my sister. We even made the invitations by hand.

The brothers-in-law were busy with drinks, mom and aunt with food. It was a family endeavor. It took us four weeks. It was coming out much better than that giant I would have done in Southern France. It was a sunny day.

I did not spend more than 2 thousand pounds.
