In an essay at the time, Liz said that the day was "perfect", writing: "Since we’ve both lost so many family and disabled friends along the way, we chose this date so that we could celebrate with those from our past and our present."
She added that the guests remained seating throughout the ceremony, explaining: "If there’s one thing I hate as a wheelie, it’s events where everyone is asked to stand. You sit there unable to see anything because of the barricade of bums.
"Determined that none of our friends would find themselves staring at someone else’s behind rather than at the main attraction, we asked the Registrar to request that everyone remain seated throughout the ceremony."

While discussing her dad's wedding speech, the star continued: "He spoke about my becoming disabled without dwelling on it. He talked proudly about my disability activism, my comedy and my new wife. He joked about how I’d banned him from saying things like brave, inspirational and special. Everyone laughed, including me."
