Martin and Shivani's Wedding in Wokingham, Berkshire

Our Real Wedding

We got engaged in the breathtaking city of Rome – talk about a romantic start! Once we were back, we quickly set a date: 22nd May. Why that day? It was the only one all year that matched our lucky number and fell on a Thursday – fate was basically shouting at us!

We tied the knot at the gorgeous Stokes Farm Barn – think rustic charm, magical vibes, and views that made us stop and stare. My partner looked sharp in a suit from Anthony Blay, while I said “yes” to the dress at Wed2Be. The flowers and decorations? All lovingly handmade by me (yes, it was a DIY dream come true!). Our delicious cake was crafted by the incredibly talented Eleanor from Maplewood Bakery.

Our favourite moment? The ceremony, hands down – closely followed by the confetti tunnel, where we were completely surrounded by love, joy, and the most amazing people who were there just to celebrate us. It was pure magic.
