According to Indian Express, she wanted to honour her father's wish of walking her down the aisle, so she glued his ashes to her manicure set. Her dad succumbed to cancer before her big day. It was her cousin Kirsty, a YouTuber and a nail artist, who came up with the idea of using the ashes on her nails. She thought Charlotte should get a 'meaningful manicure'.

Her dad's cancer became incurable after it spread to his spine and ribs. Charlotte and her fiance did everything they could to speed up the wedding, sadly he died four months before her big day.

The process of the manicure set was recorded and shown to Kirsty's followers. The duo used both the ash and tiny bone fragments in the nail art. The end result was a French ombré manicure with the ashes encased in the tips and finished with gems.

Charlotte had his photo placed on the back of her wedding shoe, a pendant attached to her flower, and a teddy bear made from one of his jumpers.
