I DID THE HOT TWO SHUFFLE!

BetH BaKer, 28, works in publishing and lives in Cambridge with husband Matt, 28, an accountant. they married in July 2017 in ashington, West Sussex. i’ve been a devoted ballroom dancer since the age of 12. then, four years ago, i dragged Matt to a lesson and he loved it, too.

we knew we’d want to do a waltz for our first dance and that meant a dress i could move easily in. the idea of having two cheaper dresses — one for the wedding, one for the evening — seemed the perfect solution.

i ordered my first dress from China for £140. a few adjustments and it was perfect (above). Next, i went online to look at ballroom dresses — and found one for £40 (left). there was lots of cheering when i wore it for our first dance.
