The service was led by Alistair\u2019s best man, actor Stanley Morgan. \u201cHe delivered a perfectly balanced address that captured our personalities to a tee,\u201d Liv says. \u201cHe centered it around the idea that we all exist at the intersection of order and freedom, which is us exactly, as I am the freedom and Al is the order!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI stood waiting for Liv down on the beach with my best men, just bursting with anticipation,\u201d Alistair remembers. \u201cThe absolute second I caught that first glimpse of her walking toward me, all my composure just melted away, and I was instantly in tears.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the ceremony, the celebration kicked off with a cocktail hour on the beach accompanied by a steel band. Then guests sat down for lunch, which included speeches from two of Alistair\u2019s four best men, Jack and James, followed by his own groom\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n
Being on a tropical island, Liv knew she wanted to go bold with the colors, so she sourced a colourful tablecloth with pinks and oranges. \u201cI made Al hand-carry it to the island all the way from New York City,\u201d she says. For the place settings, each guest had their name and a pop art version of themselves on the front of a postcard, and on the back, the couple wrote their favorite memory with them, along with their \u201cquestionable trait.\u201d On the tables, fruit-focused centerpieces lent a relaxed island vibe to the decor.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the best things we did was say yes to extra entertainment,\u201d Liv explains. \u201cAt the last minute, we decided to have a magician, and it was the best idea. He was hilarious and so good! He kept pulling bunnies out of nowhere, and we somehow ended up with nine. Everyone was holding and feeding these little bunnies, and we genuinely couldn\u2019t work out how he was doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because they had been eating and drinking in the Caribbean sun all afternoon, Liv and Alistair knew everyone would eventually need a refresh. \u201cSo, at 6 p.m., we all changed into our swimwear and ran straight into the sea for a sunset swim,\u201d Liv says. \u201cIt was absolute magic.\u201d While everyone was in the water, Liv spontaneously decided to do her bouquet toss right there in the ocean. \u201cIt was hilarious,\u201d she remembers. \u201cTwo of my girlfriends caught it together, and one of them actually got engaged just a month later!\u201d<\/p>\n
After the swim, they started a massive game of beach volleyball, and even some of the team at Catherine\u2019s jumped in to play. As the sun went down, the newlyweds did their first dance to Tina Turner\u2019s \u201cSimply the Best.\u201d \u201cIt started off slow and romantic, and then the band completely ramped it up, and everyone rushed the floor to join us,\u201d Liv recalls. \u201cThe band was absolutely phenomenal. They brought so much electricity to the room. We spent half the night up there singing and dancing with them to our favorite songs, and we didn\u2019t leave the dance floor until the very end!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
