Your Sussex Wedding - February/March 2022 (Issue 95)

BE MY valentine A twist of fate reunited Megan and Gavin after years apart and they tied the knot in September, 2021 Images courtesy of The Unscripted Collective Megan and Gavin grew up as neighbours, but their lives took them in different directions as they grew up. Years later they bumped into each other at a Valentine’s Day singles night and the rest, as they say, is history! Gav proposed at the couple’s home, 17 days after their son, Teddy, was born. He called Meg upstairs, where she found a card telling her how proud he was of her, followed by: “Teddy has something to ask you.” She glanced over at her son who was wearing a baby grow emblazoned with “Mummy, will you marry daddy?” Meg remembers, “It was a total shock, but the most amazing way to be asked!” When it came to the venue for the big day, the pair fell in love with Cissbury Barns and its beautiful setting. Meg explains, “It had the perfect mix of day to evening locations and our guests said that being out in the fabulous courtyard felt like being on holiday. It’s a hidden gem set in the heart of the South Downs, sheltered by woodland from the Cissbury Estate.” Join us as bride Meg gives us the lowdown on their September wedding day... REAL WEDDINGS 37
