The couple found each other\u00a0on the dating app Tinder and met up for a cup of tea after work one day. &#8220;The cup of tea very quickly turned into ice-cream, dinner, and a work leaving party where Will knew absolutely no-one but seemed to leave with another ten friends!&#8221; says Lisa. &#8220;By far the best date either of us had ever been on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A mutual love of classic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingCars\/\">cars<\/a> and historic houses saw Will propose just nine months later on the grounds at Waddesdon Manor. Keeping with the country house theme, the pair chose Will\u2019s old college, Oxford Union, for the reception.<\/p>\n<p>And the couple were very lucky to have talented friends to enlist for their special day. \u201cOne of the best things about the wedding was that we had so much involvement from friends \u2013 from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/planning-tools\/\">wedding website<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingPhotography\/\">photographer<\/a>, the jazz band and games in the garden, to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingFlowers\/\">bouquet<\/a>, the quiz, the entire <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingCakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding cake<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\">band<\/a>,\u201d explains Lisa.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful weather meant guests were treated to hours of fun in the Master\u2019s Garden. \u201cIt could have been a nightmare, but instead was a fun and game-filled affair with a jazz band, ice-cream from the place we had our first date, and wedding cake,\u201d says Lisa. Following on with their fun-and-games theme, a quiz was devised by their friend Dave, who prepared the &#8216;Lisa and Will&#8217;-themed pub questionnaire between main and dessert. \u201cIt gave everyone a good laugh,\u201d smiles Lisa.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/winstonsanders.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Winston Sanders
