Alex and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your wonderful performances in the ceremony and drinks reception on Sunday; it really was the highlight of our day. So many of our guests commented on how incredible your voice is! My only regret of the day was that I was not able to enjoy more of it as I was so tied up with the photos.
