Lizzie, 57, full-time
mum, and Rupert, 55,
a teacher, were
married in 2015
Reading
Lizzie: I was 55 and
seven months
pregnant when we
tied the knot; we’d met
three years earlier.
I had really wanted
to find an outfit that
made me feel good,
despite being so
large, but there was
nothing I liked in the
shops and we didn’t
have much money.
So I went to the
National Theatre
Costume Hire
department and
found a gorgeous
devoré coat worn by
Vanessa Redgrave in
a production of
The Cherry Orchard.
A friend and I went to
Sainsbury’s and
stayed up until
midnight the night
before making
sandwiches. We
sprinkled rocket over
them to make them
look professional.
I drove myself to
the church.
But the wedding
was lovely and our
perfect son was born
two months later. CH
