Wedding of the Year Competition: Final Four - Please Vote

Simon McKay and Rani Shillam were married on 23/05/2009 at Hammersmith & Fulham Register Office.

Rani and Simon had a no-fuss wedding, inspired by urban seventies style. "We wanted a low key wedding which would reflect our lifestyle," says Simon. "Rani wore an original 1960s turquoise crochet dress from One of a Kind on Portobello Road and I wore a bespoke tuxedo which was made for my father in 1973."

The pair took double decker buses to the registry office where they had an intimate ceremony with 15 guests. Afterwards, black cabs were hailed to transport guests to the Blah Blah Blah restaurant.

Seating arrangements on the day were a concern for the couple. "A number of people hadn't met before and Simon's parents hadn't seen one another for 32 years," recalls Rani. "Perhaps it was the small scale of the wedding, but the event's intimate nature meant the integration of our families actually proved to be one of the biggest successes of the day."
