THE WEDDING OF KATIE WOOLLEY AND MICHAEL PETROVICS


Like many people, Katie Woolley and Michael Petrovics’ wedding plans this year have been far from easy but they eventualy did manage to have their most perfect day. They were due to marry in July this year but when Covid restrictions came in they postponed their special day until June next year.


Katie was naturally disappointed and says she never really felt that was the right date for them. Then in September they took a call from their original venue saying they were cancelling all weddings for 2021.


“We were devastated but we understood these strange times are affecting a lot businesses,” she said. “We looked at other venues and chose The Old School House in Weeford, near Lichfield but we couldn’t decide on a date next year. “With wedding restrictions going from 30 to 15, we weren’t even sure any more that next year was even certain.”


The couple have been together for 14 years and with all the uncertaintly around wedding guest numbers and venues cancelling they decided instead of waiting they would plump for a wedding sooner rather than later and booked The Old School House for the last weekend in October – just before the latest round of closures came in.


“After being together 14 years, all we truly wanted was to be was husband and wife.


“The whole big wedding with everyone there was all we ever wanted, to share it with all our family and friends, but we both realised we didn’t know if and when that would ever happen but what we did know is our love for each other and our two boys. We just wanted to be husband and wife and that outweighed what we coudn’t have.”


The couple then had the difficult choice of deciding who would be included on their very limited guest list of 15. Immediate family were able to help them celebrate their special day but sadly other close family and friends were unable to join them.


The couple got married at St Paul’s Church in Dosthill, with Katie arriving in a classic Regent Landaulet from Nothing but Wedding Cars wearing a stunning dress from Ditsy Rose in Nuneaton.


She was walked down the aisle by her eldest son Mason to the strains of Thousand Years by The Piano Guys and after the ceremony the couple left the chuch to Can’t Help Falling in Love.


The wedding party comprised the bride’s sister Sam Gray as maid of honour, bride’s best friend Carly Pallitt as chief bridesmaid, best man Andrew Petrovics (groom’s brother), groomsmen Daniel Woolley and Thomas Woolley (bride’s brothers) with their youngsest son Izaac acting as ring bearer.


The couple had been planning a romantic honeymoon in Rome but again this was cancelled and instead they enjoyed an overnight stay at the Fairlawn Hotel and Spa.


“We never planned this to be our wedding but you can’t always plan the best things in life and this was just meant to be. We both agreed that this was probably far better than we could have planned and hoped for.”
