Blind Tik Toker Lucy Edwards Lets Guests Walk In Her Shoes In Sensory Wedding | Good Morning Britain

Blind BBC broadcaster, content creator, and disability activist Lucy Edwards began losing her sight at the age of 11 and six years later went completely blind. At 4 years old Lucy was diagnosed with incontinentia pigmenti, a rare genetic skin condition which can cause a person to lose their vision. She met her partner, Ollie Cave, in 2015 before losing her sight completely and the couple got engaged in June 2018. When planning their wedding, which was held at Kew Gardens at the end of August, Lucy wanted her husband-to-be and their guests to experience their ceremony in the same way she would - so blindfolded them all as she walked down the aisle. Lucy says her guests “were shocked at how sensory it was. By the end of the main ceremony, everyone's blindfolds were wet with tears”. Her partner Ollie added “The moment when we all blindfolded ourselves was one of the most emotional I've ever been. We really wanted to make this moment something that was equal for both of us and I wouldn't have ever changed the way we did it. For that brief moment, everyone was experiencing my Lucy's world.”

I love that she is doing this. She is my favorite blind youtuber and as a blind girl it's great to see someone doing this

[@TAURON85]

I adore this girl, even though I found her channel only yesterday! ❤

[@maggieedwards3951]

Congratulations to you Lucy Edwards love her beautiful smile and beautiful hair all the best to you .💞

[@dftfire]

She starred in adverts for Pantene a year or two back, I recall. Which is great how brands want to include blind people... though be better if they cared enough to put Braille on all their products!

[@maggieedwards3951]

Indeed 👍🏾

My Hero Lucy Edwards

I guess this wasn’t the beautiful wedding dress that the lovely Gok Wan helped her to find pre pandemic. I guess it was yet another promotional video at the time but a pity he wasn’t mentioned at all as he showed her enormous compassion.

[@meghabisht5401]

Yes. She described herself as a "Wolf In snow".

[@sophie1564]

The new dress she wore on her actual wedding day looked absolutely gorgeous and even more pretty than the won Gok chose in my opinion. She looked like the princess she is! Gok did treat Lucy beautifully but I don't think she *needed* to mention him in this interview.

[@vanillakitten1210]

most people don’t immediately purchase the dresses- there’s a good chance that she put her wedding off due to the pandemic and wasn’t able to get it- or just found one she liked more

[@fridasoderstrom7116]

Can you see that there could be other reasons as to why another dress was picked?

[@fridasoderstrom7116]

@@meghabisht5401 Think it was actually a fox in the snow, because of the contrast between her hair colour and the colour of the dress.

[@melgrant7404]

She looks like a female Ricky Gervais.

That's because we're all clones based on five templates...

[@colettesargeant6581]

She looks better than you

[@melgrant7404]

@colettesargeant6581 how would you know.
