Chloe and Aaron’s colourful festival wedding in Hull was all about their personalities, their love of colour and not taking themselves too seriously. The couple, who have been together since they were 17, and their three children threw a celebration was full of laughter, games and in-jokes. And despite it raining all morning (even during their outdoor ceremony!) their spirits were not dampened one little bit.

An and Mario were married exactly twenty years to the date after they first met, on February 29th. As well as only having one date every four years they could make this happen, they had to plan around other real circumstances. After An developed post concussion syndrome following a serious accident, a full traditional schedule was completely off the table. Instead, they split the celebration in two days - the civil ceremony took place on the Thursday and the party on the Friday night.

AJ and Pedro got married by the sea in La Manga del Mar Menor, a narrow sandbar in Murcia, Spain, which separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Mar Menor lagoon. They are both archaeologists, and their work and love of books became the starting point for the theme. Pedro is an author, and AJ also translated that idea into the visual side of the wedding.

We are the Richards

Ari and Bry designed their wedding with their people at the centre and everything else arranged around that. They chose the Allegheny Elks Lodge #339, a working-class Pittsburgh hall, as their location then added all their own décor to make it on-theme. “The theme was classic Pittsburgh hall wedding collides with Vegas kitsch and a hint of the Deer Hunter!” Ari told us. The result was a day that felt retro, in 80s Vegas chapel type way, meets a community party where everyone pitched in.

A traditional, all-white wedding was never on the cards for Stephanie and Ernesto. The couple based the day around Warped Tour, as well as all the other concerts they've been to over the years. The bride initially didn't want to wear a white dress, but when she found one which was white, but with black lace accents, it just felt right.

Chloe and Grant planned a fully themed gothic wedding, but their original idea looked very different. Like many couples, they started by mapping out a larger celebration and quickly watched the numbers climb. “Our original plans were going to cost almost £16k", Chloe told us. "We found it all very stressful so ended up cancelling everything. We went online and booked a registry office ceremony for £150 and didn't look back! We have zero regrets. I did my own make-up, made my bouquet, put together the decorations - everything! We didn't even have a photographer for the wedding itself, all the photos were taken on my Instax or by friends. The most important thing to us was to be married."
