This past Saturday was the beautiful wedding of Rebecca and Nick, they held their ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church in Hatfield Broad Oak followed by their reception at the gorgeous Great Hallingbury Manor in Great Hallingbury.
Leading up to their wedding I asked Rebecca and Nick a handful of questions about their particular wedding theme and other wedding details, here's their answers;
1. What is the theme and colours of your wedding?
Summer Romance - Not really sure if we have a theme but that's what we are going with : ). Color is lilac and pastels
2. How did you come up with your theme?
We just picked what we liked - the color was for my Nanny that died last year as it was her favorite colour. The Horse Racing theme is for Nick as he loves going to the races.

4. How did the two of you meet?
We met on Match Affinity.com, I think we both knew that we had met the one.... we moved in with each other after 6 months and the rest is history.
5. How long did you spend planning your wedding and have you any budget advice?
We spent around 10 months planning the wedding, budget advice would be shop around, try not to take on to much DIY on, time flies much faster than you prepare yourself for, Don't over think themes go for what you want and create your own.
6. What are you most looking forward to on your wedding day?
We are really looking forward to the Church and hearing the bells ring, we are also excited about entering the wedding breakfast most of all being surrounded by all our friends and family on our special day and being Mr and Mrs Johnson.
7. Any other details I should know about?
We have the sweepstake for the first dance so it's been kept secret from our guests until we have our first dance - the song is 'Your the Best Thing' by Style Council.
