The morning light filtered softly through the windows, creating a warm and serene atmosphere. Kelly and her bridesmaids were treated to a luxurious morning as they prepared for the big day.

The terraced room was bustling with activity, yet there was a sense of calm as Kelly sat at the vanity, having her make-up expertly applied. Her dress, a vision of lace and tulle, caught the light in such a way that it seemed to shimmer with anticipation. The bridesmaids, dressed in soft pastel hues, added a touch of colour to the room as they helped Kelly with the final touches—buttoning up her gown, arranging her veil, and ensuring that every detail was perfect.

The excitement in the room was palpable as the final preparations were made.

The Groom’s Pre-Wedding Fun: A Private Bar for the Lads

While Kelly and her bridesmaids were enjoying their morning, Anthony and his groomsmen were having a blast in a private bar set aside just for them. Runa Farm offers an array of unique spaces, and the private bar provided the perfect spot for the groom and his mates to relax and unwind before the ceremony.

The camaraderie was evident as they shared jokes, reminisced about old times, and talked about the future. The private bar was the ideal setting for this pre-wedding ritual, offering a space where Anthony could enjoy the company of his groomsmen, away from the hustle and bustle of the preparations happening elsewhere on the farm.

The groomsmen, all dressed in coordinating suits, looked sharp and ready for the day. They took the opportunity to toast Anthony, sharing their excitement and offering words of encouragement as the big moment approached.
