With his girlfriend a trained jewellery designer, Marc Henshall could be forgiven for feeling the nerves when it came time to pick out an engagement ring.<\/p>\n

Luckily, long-time love Jodie Gearing had saved the link to her dream ring,<\/a> Marc, 31, took the hint, and the proposal went off without a\u00a0hitch.<\/p>\n

“He proposed by a river in Burford in the Cotswolds,\u00a0one of our favourite places to visit,” Jodie, 29, says. “It was a lovely surprise.”<\/p>\n

The Langford, Bedfordshire couple wanted a classic English \u00a0feel to their big day, but both being creatives, they also wanted to add their personal spin to their rustic wedding.<\/p>\n

“As an art teacher\/jewellery designer and a music fanatic, we wanted a truly personalised wedding\u00a0to reflect us and our relationship,” Jodie says.<\/p>\n

“I made our rings and all the decorations<\/a>,\u00a0we had a guitar case for the cards and crackly\u00a0records playing in the background while we ate.”<\/p>\n

The couple wed in a classic church ceremony at\u00a0St Andrew’s,\u00a0Ampthill on July 30, 2016 in front of 75 family and friends.<\/p>\n

Elegant\u00a0Eversholt Hall hosted the evening celebrations. Live music<\/a> provided by a local band set the scene and the happy couple say the hard work DIYing much of the big day paid off.<\/p>\n

“Guests loved all\u00a0the unique touches and everyone’s happy faces in the photos says it all!” Jodie says.<\/p>\n

“Ours was the quintessential English wedding \u2013 a church wedding in a beautiful Georgian market town, Pimms and canap\u00e9s overlooking the cricket pavillion; cricket match in play, church bells in\u00a0the background, vintage wedding cars <\/a>and glorious English summer weather,” Jodie says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jodie’s advice for future brides is not to worry about all the details – no one will notice if things don’t go exactly as you had planned, she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":206882,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"uk_real_wedding_category":[9085,9075],"uk_real_wedding_tag":[9197,9833,9799,9374,9393],"uk_real_wedding_style":[10479],"uk_real_wedding_location":[10507,10505],"uk_real_wedding_setting":[10483],"uk_real_wedding_colour":[10670,10656,10646],"uk_real_wedding_competition":[],"class_list":["post-206847","uk-real-wedding","type-uk-real-wedding","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","uk_real_wedding_category-9085","uk_real_wedding_category-monthly-winner","uk_real_wedding_tag-diy-wedding","uk_real_wedding_tag-heni-fourie-photography","uk_real_wedding_tag-mint-wedding","uk_real_wedding_tag-real-weddings","uk_real_wedding_tag-rustic-wedding-2","uk_real_wedding_style-rustic","uk_real_wedding_location-bedfordshire","uk_real_wedding_location-east-of-england","uk_real_wedding_setting-function-centre","uk_real_wedding_colour-copper-wedding","uk_real_wedding_colour-mint-wedding","uk_real_wedding_colour-peach-wedding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-real-wedding\/206847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-real-wedding"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uk-real-wedding"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-real-wedding\/206847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_category?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_tag?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_style?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_location?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_setting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_setting?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_colour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_colour?post=206847"},{"taxonomy":"uk_real_wedding_competition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/real-weddings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_real_wedding_competition?post=206847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
