Gary Kearns and Sandra's Wedding in Stock, Essex

Our Real Wedding

We had an amazing day at Crondon Park, the weather was also on our side with 25 degrees and amazing sunshine/sunset. The day went very smoothly, even though we were nervous. We both got ready at our venue, we had our family and friends with us, bubbles and sandwiches. All our suppliers arrived on time, and the room was set up beautifully, which, for a big day like that, is quite a relief. Next thing you know, hairdressing, makeup and photographers are performing their magic. We then got to talk with the registrars and walk down the aisle. Now that is when it hits you, you're about to say “I do”. From everything that I read on Hitched forums, I knew that I had to take my time walking down the aisle, look at everyone, especially at my beautiful husband to be. Our hands intertwined straight away, and we couldn’t stop staring at each other. And I don’t know why, but I kissed his wedding ring once it was on his finger, which made everyone go “aww”. From there, our first shot was under the shower of confetti, followed by all the other family, friends and group pictures. Our wedding breakfast was then served (it's called a wedding breakfast cause that’s the first meal the bride and groom have together after they got married, something that we also learned on Hitched that we didn’t know, and we thought it was really romantic), followed by our speeches, which were a success and on time. We then mingled a bit with our guests, lovely to hear how happy they were. We then cut our cake followed by our first dance, which I must admit it was the most difficult thing to choose from as we don’t have a “couple song”, nonetheless we were very happy with our choice and we had a bit of practice at home. My second dance was with my Dad, wish was very special too as we used to dance at home every weekend since I was very little until I left home, my dad obviously cried, hopefully it won’t be our last dance he said. The dance floor was now open to everyone, everyone had a blast with our 80s disco songs, our DJ at Crondon Park was the best. Our buffet was served, our guest mingling, drinking, talking, dancing what a beautiful view!! At this point, everyone was relaxed, enjoying, happy, very happy. The night ended at midnight with everyone cuddling, kissing and saying the most beautiful things about our day, us, suppliers, venue, staff.We had a great day, I don’t think it could be any better. So thank you, thank you for your hard work putting up this amazing app that contains everything that you need to do your own wedding. Hitched you’re amazing and you’re made our day!!!
