14 Jun, 2025Our Real Wedding
We had been engaged for around three years before we decided to tie the knot. Gordon and I got engaged during the time of COVID, and as difficult as that period was, when we could not see each other, we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. It was during this time that Gordon proposed to me and told me that no matter what and how tough life may get, I will always have him by my side. It was a big YES from me!!
Fast forward a few years, and we decided that now was the time to get married, and last August, that is when all the planning commenced!
I have not been involved in many Weddings, so the planning element was completely new to me, and I felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to make sure I would not miss a thing. That's when I found Hitched, and it made the planning process so much easier. Hitched helped me find so many of the vendors we used on our Wedding Day, such as the Venue, Decorations, Flowers, Rings, MUA, Invites, and of course, the dress!

As soon as I walked into The Spa Hotel in Royal Tunbridge Wells, I knew it was the one. The grounds were beautiful, and I could immediately see myself walking down the aisle to their outdoor temple and marrying the love of my life. I was not entertaining the 'wet weather' backup option, but if it did rain, even the indoor ceremony room was stunning. Even though the weather was meant to be cloudy and with thunderstorms, we had our outdoor ceremony with beautiful blue skies, it was perfect.
Finding my dress was so much easier than expected, it was in the second bridal shop I visited, but the first dress I tried on there. I tried on another 6/7 dresses, but nothing compared to the first! When they say you'll know what dress it is meant to be, you really do!
We found Chich Weddings & Events on Hitched, and visited their showroom, where we purchased the menswear for the wedding, along with the rings. Chic played such a big part in making our day magical, and everyone kept complimenting how beautifully dressed the reception room was, and have lovely my flowers were.
We opted for a classical and elegant Wedding, with the colour scheme being Ivory, green, and gold. Timeless! The flowers, suits, dress, cake, and venue matched the scheme perfectly, and there is not one thing I would change about the day.
There are so many magical moments from our Wedding day, but I do not think anything tops hearing that processional song start (Video games Instrumental) and walking down the aisle to meet my groom. Butterflies kicked in, and as soon as I saw him, I could not contain my emotions. It was the moment that made all the planning worth it, and a moment that we will both cherish for the rest of our lives.
