Ben and Karissa's Wedding in Hounslow, West London

Our Real Wedding

We had the best day in late July this year! ☀️We had a beautiful ceremony at my local church, followed by a celebration with our close family and friends. Hitched was super helpful with finding some of our suppliers.

We hired the venue, transport, makeup artists, photographer and wedding dress through the app. Ben and I wanted the day to feel a lot like us and were mindful of our guests' comfort and convenience. We hired a routmaster bus as transport between venues instead of hiring a fancy car for the two of us (we were also budget-focused).

We chose hymns and church readings that resonated with us. At the venue, we picked our favourite Indian dishes. Luckily, the venue did catering for this!

Our first dance was something we learnt on YouTube. We both have two left feet but really enjoyed doing this together. We also set up badminton, which the guests seemed to enjoy! We’re both pretty competitive.

There were hotels on site for guests to stay and for us to have breakfast in the morning.
