Sarah and Peter’s vintage wedding at Mere Court"},"content":{"rendered":"

Sarah Wakefield has only one suggestion for how her vintage wedding to beau Peter Egerton could have been better.<\/p>\n

“Stop the clock!”<\/p>\n

Sarah, 30, says if she could do it all again, she’d absolutely take her time walking down the aisle. Even so,\u00a0“it was the most amazing, magical day of our lives,” she smiles.<\/p>\n

The pair, who call Derbyshire home, met in 2011 and the chemistry was instant. Whilst attending a friend’s wedding in York, Peter, 34, took the opportunity to make wedding plans of his own.<\/p>\n

“We stayed at the Royal Hotel with a beautiful view overlooking the gardens,” Sarah recalls. “There was a dozen red roses and a beautiful card waiting for me in the room –\u00a0Pete had never bought flowers!”\u00a0They went on a walk through the gardens and stopped at the fountain to make a wish. “As I got some change out of my bag and turned to give it to Pete, he was on the floor on one knee with a ring!”<\/p>\n

Sarah and Peter wed before 85 guests\u00a0<\/span>at the Old Glossop Parish Church<\/span>\u00a0on May 30, 2015 followed by a reception for 150 at\u00a0<\/span>Mere Court Hotel<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfect Wed helped decorate the venue in fine style, while Sarah bought vintage trays, cups-and-saucers, birdcages and beads to add an old-world touch.\u00a0<\/span>“The venue looked absolutely stunning,” Sarah recalls.\u00a0“The food was amazing, drinks were flowing, speeches went well and we had a band that rocked.”<\/p>\n
