WITH ME Fly away Rhea & Joshua Doyle tied the knot at Apton Hall on 4th July, 2025 Images courtesy of Photography by Ashley Joshua and Rhea crossed paths online when they matched on Tinder back in October 2019. It was love at first swipe! Joshua was pleasantly surprised when Rhea made the first move and it was her confidence that won him over. Over the years, the pair have enjoyed travelling the world together, enjoying rooftop dinners under the stars in Vienna, a sparkling engagement in Lisbon, and jet-setting to Jamaica for a honeymoon of a lifetime. When planning the wedding, the theme of travel was a no-brainer. Quirky suitcase favours, boarding passes as table names and a ‘where in the world’ table plan, styled the day. SETTING THE SCENE Both Joshua and Rhea fell in love with Apton Hall, and it matched their sage green colour scheme perfectly, to Rhea’s delight! Rhea wore a stunning, satin off-the-shoulder ballgown, purchased from Bellissima Weddings. Her bride tribe were by her side on the day she said yes, and it was safe to say there were tears all round. The design, Essence of Australia was another nod to travel! It was certainly meant to be. The groom and his fellow groomsmen looked dapper in cream three-piece suits, whilst the bridesmaids wore mix and match gowns in sage. TIME TO CELEBRATE Rhea and Joshua both admit they love to host family and friends in their Chelmsford home they share with their cat, Missy, so the wedding really was their time to shine. There was a magician, garden games, a vintage VW ice cream van, vocalist, saxophonist and not forgetting the crisp wall! MEMORABLE MOMENTS Rhea sadly lost her brother Aaron suddenly on 27th March, just over three months before the wedding. He was supposed to be there by her side on the day, he was however there in spirit and was honoured throughout the day with special touches. Happy family memories were made throughout the day – and night – as Rhea and her dad took to the dancefloor. What started as a slow dance soon broke into a hip hop dance to Hammer Time! Unforgettable. RHEA’S TOP TIP! When it comes to words of wisdom, Rhea says it short and simply, “Don’t stress the little things.” We wish the happy couple all the best in their future together.
