Lucy and Harvey met at a friend’s wedding in 2016 when Lucy was a bridesmaid and Harvey was a groomsman. “We met the day before the wedding and immediately hit it off,” Lucy tells us. Harvey adds, “I spent the morning of the wedding wondering if it was ok to ask the groom if Lucy was single! She looked stunning as a bridesmaid and it soon became clear that there was something special between us.” POPPING THE QUESTION Harvey proposed to Lucy in December 2021. “He had chosen to ask me to marry him in Hampstead Heath, close to where we first lived together in London which is a special place for us,” Lucy says. “We walked for two hours before Harvey popped the question against the backdrop of the spectacular view. Our dog, Indy, was also in attendance - although he did run off at the exact moment to go and play with another dog!” SETTING THE SCENE The aesthetic of Lillibrooke Manor in Berkshire was exactly what the couple wanted for their English country wedding. “It’s a classic country manor with an attractive barn which allowed us to host the majority of our celebration,” Lucy tells us. “The reputation of the venue in organising a wedding and the quality of the service and food also helped to seal the deal. Plus, because our spring wedding date was in early March, it was the perfect choice for combining indoor and outdoor spaces as the weather dictated. We both wanted to get married close to where we live together rather than closer to where one of us had grown up.” Lucy and Harvey loved their ceremony which was made even more special because Harvey surprised her by standing at the front of the “It was so special being surrounded by our loved ones and not wanting the day to end because we were having too much fun.” - Lucy and Harvey 35 REAL WEDDINGS
