Heidi wasn't the only woman to get on the mic, her mum also said a few words
A Scots bride says other women should break with convention and give speeches at their own weddings – after deciding she'd had enough of leaving it to the men.
The former TV scriptwriter, who now lives in Bristol, said: "I just wanted it to be good fun. We got married in a church, then had the reception at a swanky bar/restaurant that had a dance floor. "I knew there were quite a lot of people that didn't know each other. So I want to get them all laughing together. I was nervous on the day but I'm so glad I did it".Heidi wasn't the only woman to get on the mic: her mum also said a few words, while Roger's sister also shared a 'cheeky' poem. Alongside the traditional best man's speech, the groom announced the news that he and Heidi were three months pregnant.

"And especially the people you really, really genuinely care about - like your parents and your friends that have seen you through your single years. This is one of the few opportunities in your life where you get to take a moment to truly honour them and pay a tribute."
