Molly Goldie was incredibly excited about finally getting married. Her wedding had been postponed four times during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Molly and her now husband Jordan had settled on the idyllic setting of Thornton Manor - a dream Grade II* listed wedding venue nestled in the sleepy village of Thornton Hough in Wirral - for their big day. The manor house and its beautiful surroundings provide one of the region's most luxurious event spaces and previously played host to Coleen Rooney's 21st birthday party and the famously secretive Brexit talks between Boris Johnson and then Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
The couple, from Bolton, were ready for the biggest day of their lives, having first planned to get married in 2019. They paid around £11,000 for the wedding in the grand manor house - and guests had booked all 22 rooms as well as a number of cottages on the estate.
