A reception followed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/Gloucestershire\/HydeBarn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyde Barn<\/a>. Nikki describes the theme as yellow, fun and bright, which, with 29-year-old Sam\u2019s help, she managed to pull off with class.<\/p>\n<p>The sunny\u00a0colour\u00a0was tastefully scattered throughout the day, from the lining of Sam\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/FormalWear\/\">custom-made suit<\/a>, to the braces on their page boy, balloons,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingFlowers\/\">Nikki&#8217;s\u00a0bouquet<\/a>, and her Manolo Blannik shoes. \u201cThey\u2019re the <em>Sex and the City<\/em> shoes that Big proposed to Carrie with, but in yellow,\u201d describes Nikki.\u00a0\u201cThe yellow definitely blinded everyone into putting sunglasses on and smiling through the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nikki\u2019s Jamaican heritage was also on show, especially the food! \u201cThe intermingling of our cultures was\u00a0perfectly summed up by the wedding breakfast of a beef roast carved by the guests, to the evening do of a Jamaican buffet with plenty of rice and peas, jerk chicken and sneaky rum punch,\u201d smiles the bride.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The whole day was laughter, dancing and flowing rum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos
