three-tier vanilla sponge cake lovingly created by Jade’s grandmother, decorated with white fondant icing and delicate pink flowers. Jade looked stunning in an off-the-shoulder ivory gown from Anne Whittaker Bridal, accessorised with a long veil, earrings, a necklace, and ivory shoes. Harry complemented her perfectly in a navy suit paired with a pink tie from Next. To keep guests entertained into the evening, the couple asked a friend to DJ. Harry shares, “We gave him a list of songs and he created a playlist that kept everyone dancing all night. We received overwhelming compliments on the dancefloor, with each song flowing perfectly into the next.” On the day, the couple felt a mix of excitement and emotion as they prepared to tie the knot. Harry recalls, “I spent the morning greeting guests as they arrived, which felt surreal. The day had come around in a flash, and I couldn’t believe everyone on our guest list was finally there. I stayed composed until the very moment I saw my beautiful wife walking down the aisle. In that moment, all I can describe is tunnel vision – everything else disappeared, and it was just her. You can imagine what it will feel like, but nothing prepares you for that starstruck feeling.” One of the most emotional moments for everyone was the speeches. There were quite a few, and each one was unforgettable – tear-jerking, hilarious, and full of heartfelt stories, along with a little goodnatured embarrassment for the bride and groom. The couple also praised the staff at Singleton Lodge Country House Hotel, who supported them every step of the way. Every question was answered promptly, helping to turn their wedding day into something truly special. Reflecting on the planning process, Harry shares, “Planning a wedding can be stressful, but don’t worry too much about the smaller details, such as timings with photographers or the order of speeches. Everyone says it, but it really does all fall into place. Instead, enjoy choosing your perfect colour theme and your first dance song – those are the moments and memories that stay with you forever.” 28
