A Truly Lavish Dream Wedding

An extravagant, lavish spread never to be forgotten. Offering those fortunate enough to attend that wedding a memorable event setting the standard for all others. Here's hoping that there are enough brides-to-be out there that are sensible enough not to attempt to emulate someone like Kirsty Lane whose marriage to her betrothed gave their community in northwest England enough to talk about for years to come.

It wasn't just the costly luxury, of course, although that was impressive enough. Very imaginative, indeed, to offer guests face-painting, a free bar with all you could drink, feathered face masks, two bands, a harpist, a saxophonist, a magician and for heaven's sake! fireworks! Fireworks, you know the kind, they create quite an amazing display of light and sound.

There were other kinds of fireworks that resulted from this social occasion, later to be revealed.

The bridesmaids wore little fur tops over their glorious gowns. The bride, 29, but very ambitious for herself obviously, displayed a jewelled iPad cover that cost as much as a diamond ring. She had the diamond ring too, of course. And Kirsty Lane didn't forget the people who had employed her, they too were invited to the festivities.

It was only fair, after all. Her employer thought so highly of this young woman. He was on record as saying how implicitly she was trusted. The company was a good employer and quite obviously Ms. Lane was an outstanding employee. That's a very nice combination that works to everyone's advantage. "Up to the point we had no idea", said he.

And doubtless wondered how the gracious young woman whom he had hired could ever afford such a spectacular display. She had worked at Pure AV, an audio visual company. And the head of that company, Peter Sutton, was a guest at the wedding held at Great Hall at Mains, near Blackpool, capable of hosting 200 to 300 people.

"The wedding was the most lavish thing I've ever seen", Mr. Sutton said. Mr. Sutton also explained to the Lancashire Evening Post that his former employee suffered from "unbridled greed" that had nearly ruined his business. As it was, two people had to be discharged as a result of a money-flow problem the company experienced.

Little wonder, since the company was missing about $240,000 which Kirsty Lane had carefully extracted for herself to enable her to plan and pay for her dream wedding.
