Matthew Lindsay and Selina Lindsay's Wedding in Beckenham, South East London

Our Real Wedding

Planning my wedding was both incredibly special and deeply emotional, as my father passed away in January. Balancing the joy of preparing for my big day with the heartbreak of losing him was one of the hardest things I've ever faced. Still, we made it through, and I felt his presence with us, especially when the sun broke through and shone down on our celebration.

The day was pure magic, unfolding seamlessly and passing in a joyful blur. Every detail carried meaning: my sister-in-law lovingly crafted the flowers and bouquets by hand, and my nieces took care of my makeup, making me feel truly radiant. My wedding dress was the first thing I chose, as if it was meant to find me. With my creative background, I poured my heart into designing every aspect of the celebration, hand-making decorations, and sourcing unique pieces with help from wonderful friends and family.

Every vendor I selected exceeded expectations, contributing to a flawless day. Our guests were delighted, showering us with kind words and appreciation. The Hitched website was an invaluable tool throughout the planning process, keeping everything organized with its thorough checklist.
