Clare Beckwith planned the marquee wedding for Melissa Mostyn and Miles Thomas, who have both been deaf since childhood.
She said: 'The main consideration for me was communication and the best way for us to conduct our meetings was either through type talk or email. During the face-to-face meetings I just made sure I spoke slowly so they could lip read and it worked well.'
