Wedding Bells At Derbyshire Home Thanks To Livestream Of Staff Members Big Day

There were wedding bells at a Derbyshire home thanks to modern technology allowing staff and residents to be a part of a colleague’s big day.

Matthew Hunt works as a carer at MHA Maple Leaf House and wanted to share his special day with staff and residents at the home.

He decided to pay for a live stream service of the ceremony, which enabled the staff and residents at the home to not only watch the ceremony but enjoy the big day thanks to an afterparty.

Staff at the home decided to make more of the day and arranged for wedding decorations, banners and balloons as well as a cake and had a wedding party.

Wendy Pryor, activity coordinator said:
“Matthew gets along really well with the residents and wanted them to be able to enjoy his big day.

“We were all able to watch his wedding ceremony via Zoom on our big TV.

“The tables were set and our residents enjoyed and engaged in the Wedding celebrations

“We decorated our foyer area with wedding banners and balloons and enjoyed a glass of something fizzy and some cake.

“It was an open event, we had some family members come in and enjoy the day which was lovely.

“We had a great time, there was a great atmosphere at the home and are looking forward to seeing both Matthew and Gemma when they come back from their honeymoon.”
