They said, “We want a giant spinning wheel with everyone’s name on it.”
I said, “There are 140 guests.”
They said, “We know.”
Enter: The Wheel.
A love letter to Luke’s love of game shows (mostly Wheel of Fortune, I’m assuming) and Laura’s incredible theatre company owning family (who, bless them, made the impossible… spin). A gloriously oversized, gorgeously painted, borderline theatrical centrepiece of their wedding.
We first unveiled it during the wedding to decide their surprise witness, a dramatic moment made all the more iconic by the giant sheet reveal (I’ve always wanted to do a sheet reveal). But because it had taken literal blood, sweat, tears, and at least four people with theatre degrees to construct, Laura and Luke were absolutely not going to let it be a one-spin wonder.
So we kept spinning it.
To choose an impromptu speech-giver (who delivered a heartfelt, wildly inappropriate call for more married s*x, truly inspiring, thanks Liz).
To appoint one unsuspecting groomsman as a butler for the night (he nailed it, napkin over an arm and all).
To pick the final song on the dance floor (I believe nanna picked You’re The Voice, well done Judi)
And (my favourite) to help cut the cake - where we created a temporary, frosting-covered throuple for the honour. See the last slide, it’s glorious.
It was ridiculous. It was fabulous. It was so them.
More weddings should have a wheel. That is all.
