A Double Dose of Wedded Bliss!

A Dudley woman recently celebrated the wedding of both her daughters, at the same time, to two cousins!

Emma McConnell and her sister Nicola McConnell celebrated their nuptials to Martin Paelini and his cousin Kin Lami respectively with a double wedding followed by a reception at the recently refurbished Walsall based County Hotel as their mother, Mrs McConnell explains:

“I have always been familiar with the County Hotel but I had never actually held an event there before. The owner Ray Gilbert was extremely helpful throughout, he really did bend over backwards in order for us to create the day we wanted.”

After the ceremony, which took place at a local church, 82 people arrived at the County for a sit down meal, Mrs McConnell comments: “For the meal we wanted it to be special.

“I had previously spoken to Ray about the dishes and he was happy for us to alter them as much as we wanted in order for it to be perfect. In the end, the menu was a mixture of three!”

“The suite looked beautiful and as soon as we entered the hotel, Ray took control and made sure the whole day went without a problem.

“Once everyone was seated Ray introduced Emma and Nicola and their respective husbands for the first time as Mr and Mrs, it was a lovely touch and made both couples feel special. Throughout the meal Ray made sure everyone was comfortable and happy, introducing all the speeches, the cutting of the cake and the first dance. It was very much appreciated, as we were really able to enjoy the day.”

As Mrs McConnell concludes: “Everything was perfect, the County Hotel went out of their way to help us create the day Emma and Nicola had wanted.”
