Family pitches in to prepare Hannah and Jonny’s rustic wedding

 A Grade II listed barn in the Hampshire countryside was the perfect setting for Hannah Salked and Jonathan Varndell's rustic wedding.

Hannah and Jonny, both aged 27, chose Petersfield's The Tithe Barn for their ceremony venue, with family and friends helping take the stress out of the wedding planning.

"We were so lucky to have everyone chip in and help us to plan, from dad's partner and her daughter making our amazing cake and cupcakes, my auntie doing all the outdoor decorations and flowers to my dad making garden games," Hannah says.

The Bracknell couple, who met at school when they were just 11 years old, had 100 guests to celebrate their big day on July 20, 2015. They'd been together nine years before Jonny popped the question on a surprise trip to Florence. Planning commenced immediately and the pair were determined to make it a fun, relaxed event.

"We both wanted a laid-back wedding where we could just have all of our loved ones together to relax and enjoy themselves," Hannah says. "I enjoyed every minute of the planning process. "Everything came together just perfectly."
