Wedding Insurance

We had a pampering day in a health spa then a great Hen night. We were all merry but on good form.
All the wedding preparations had been executed with military precision.
We’d all had a sneaky peek at the brides wedding dress, on the hanger of course, we’d seen all the photographs of the bouquets, buttonholes, and flower arrangements.
The cake was in pride of place on the dining room table when we left that evening.
We had been inundated with samples of wedding stationery, invitations, order of service, place names, table plans, wedding favours, maps to the church and reception, coloured brochures of the venue and catering.
We had seen endless photographs of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, headresses, tiaras, jewellery and bridal shoes. Not to mention formal dress hire for the groom, best man and ushers.
We honestly thought that this was the longest wedding planning ever, it was booked 2 years before the actual date and all of her closest friends and colleagues felt like we had all planned our own weddings! After all this work I hoped that the groom didn’t get cold feet as he is hardly Mr Reliable! I wondered if she had got wedding insurance. 
We had to endure weeks of which wedding transport as she had always wanted a horse and carriage and most were booked up.
A wedding car, although she had 40 glossy photographs to peruse, was just not an option. Thank Goodness, a cancellation saved the day and the horse and carriage was booked with only 3 months to go.
The morning of the wedding arrived, we all went round to wish her well and see her later at the church. (Her sister was the only bridesmaid, it would be simpler, she had 6 close friends and would have found it difficult to choose.)
My husband rang the groom to wish him well but he was not answering his mobile phone, again I began to get nervous and I considered whether or not wedding insurance covered a missing groom.
The wedding was planned for 3pm. The Groom, best man and ushers all arrived just after 2.30pm. They all looked stunning in their traditional morning suits, (thank goodness he’d turned up)
Her mum and sister arrived quarter of an hour later and they looked beautiful. I’d never seen her mum in heels and a hat before. She seemed taller.
We waited for the brides arrival with bated breath. She was going to be late, typical. All this planning and she can’t even get here on time, again it crossed my mind as to whether wedding insurance was in place.
At 3.15pm we all started to worry. Had she had cold feet, were they ok. At 3.30pm her mum’s mobile phone rang and when the colour drained from her mum’s face we knew there was a problem. She shouted for the groom and explained that the wedding was off. There had been an accident and they had been injured and were being rushed to the local hospital as we spoke. We all felt sick and didn’t know what to do.
The horse had been spooked, on it’s way to the church, by a workman using a pneumatic drill. The horse reared up and the handler lost control of the reigns and the horse ran into the oncoming traffic. The Bride suffered a broken collar bone and broken ankle.
Her father was lucky, he was bruised, shocked and disorientated but he suffered no broken bones.
All the plans had to be re-made and luckily the bride’s father had taken out wedding insurance (the cost of which was a drop in the ocean compared to the wedding). The whole wedding had to be reorganised 3 months later when all the bones had healed and the bride could walk, unaided, down the aisle. The horse and carriage was substituted for a vintage Rolls Royce and the wedding was wonderful. If they hadn’t had wedding insurance the whole thing would have had to have been scaled down.
If you have not considered wedding insurance you will be surprised just how cheap it is. For a competative quote visit the site
