Sadie + Harry
X THE MEETING STORY
HARRY AND I LOVE CORNWALL AND SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOWN THERE. SO IT WAS VERY FITTING WHEN ONE EVENING SAT ON THE CLIFFTOP WATCHING THE SUN GO DOWN WITH NOT ANOTHER SOLE IN SIGHT. HE GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND PRESENTED ME WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RING, AND ASKED ME TO DO THE HONOUR OF GROWING OLD WITH HIM.
WE DIDN’T REALLY SET A THEME OR STYE WHEN WE STARTED PLANNING, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS PERSONAL TO US AND OUR FAMILIES. WE USED ALL LOCAL VENDORS AND ALL THE FOOD WAS LOCALLY SOURCED FROM NEARBY FARMS. HARRYS MOTHER MADE OUR WEDDING CAKE. OUR WEDDING CAR WAS MY DADS OLD MINI MOKE HE HAS HAD SINCE HE WAS 20. AND WE EVEN MANAGED TO GET THE DJ WHO USED TO PLAY AT A BAR WE USED TO GOT TO IN KINGSTON WHEN WE FIRST GOT TOGETHER
I WAS DRAWN TO THE “GWEN” LONG SLEEVE LACE TWO PIECE WEDDING DRESS FROM THE MOMENT I SAW IT IN THE SHOP. THE LACE WAS AMAZINGLY DELICATE AND WENT REALLY NICELY WITH MY MOTHERS VEIL (WHICH WAS MY SOMETHING OLD). MY MOTHER TEARED UP IN THE SHOP WHEN SHE FIRST SAW ME IN GWEN, SAYING “IT’S THE ONE” AND WELL MOTHERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!
HARRY DESIGNED THE RING HIMSELF, ITS AMAZING. IT’S A BLACK DIAMOND WITH THREE LITTLE WHITE DIAMONDS ON EITHER SIDE, SET IN A PLATINUM BAND. HE EVEN DESIGNED THE WEDDING BAND AT THE SAME TIME WHICH INTERCONNECTS WITH THE ENGAGEMENT RING.
WE MET AT KINGSTON UNIVERSITY IN LONDON, 9 YEARS AGO. HARRY WAS STUDYING FILM MAKING AND I WAS STUDYING GRAPHIC DESIGN. WE BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER ON THE FIRST DAY BOTH MOVING INTO HALLS. THAT WAS THAT REALLY, HE HAS BEEN MY BEST FRIEND EVER SINCE.

X VENUE
WE GOT MARRIED AT BENTWOTH CHURCH IN HAMPSHIRE, IT IS THE SAME CHURCH MY PARENTS GOT MARRIED IN, SO HAD A LOT OF SENTIMENTAL VALUE. THE RECEPTION WAS IN THE BACK GARDEN OF MY FAMILY HOME IN A BEAUTIFUL TRADITIONAL POLE MARQUEE.

X DIY PROJECTS
X MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
BEING A DESIGNER MYSELF AND FROM A FAMILY OF CREATIVES WE DID QUITE A BIT OURSELVES. I DID ALL MY OWN WEDDING STATIONARY. MY FAMILY WAS HUGELY HELPFUL IN TRANSFORMING THE MARQUEE AND OUR GARDEN INTO AN ENCHANTING VENUE.

X ADVICETRY AND ENJOY EVERY MINUTE, THE DAY GOES VERY QUICKLY. TO HAVE EVERYONE YOU LOVE IN ONE PLACE IS A WONDERFUL FEELING.

STEPPING INTO THE CHURCH WITH MY FATHER BY MY SIDE AND LOOKING UP TO SEE EVERYONE I LOVE SMILING BACK ME WILL BE A MEMORY THAT WILL NEVER FADE. I DON’T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN HARRY LOOK SO HAPPY OR ME FOR THAT MATTER!
