newlyweds.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did they welcome their first child Oakley into the world, they were married at their barn wedding on September 12, 2015. \u201cWe had Oakley as our page boy for our wedding day in September \u2014 he really did look the cutest,\u201d smiles Jodie, 23.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Yarmouth couple spent many nights preparing for their big day, a task Jodie says Chris, 26, will be glad to see the back of! \u201cWe spent a lot of evenings when Oakley was in bed, making <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingFlowers\/\">flowers<\/a>, signs and various decorative bits,\u201d says Jodie. \u201cI can&#8217;t say Chris enjoyed painting palettes and fluffing up paper pom-poms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their wedding had a family focus, making sure there was plenty to keep their 85 guests\u00a0happy. \u201cWe both wanted a laid-back type of day that was fun and wasn\u2019t overly formal,\u201d explains Jodie. \u201cWe opted for an ice cream cart instead of canapes, jugs of Pimms, sack races and tug-of-war to keep the kids and big adult kids <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\" target=\"_blank\"
