I was ecstatic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Hadleigh, Essex couple returned to the UK to begin planning their festival wedding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had always loved the idea of having <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingHire\/\">tipis<\/a> for our reception, as we didn\u2019t want anything too grand, and have always had a love for their natural rustic charm. Next was to find a venue to suit. Just our luck there is a lovely little church around the corner from us, a beautiful small venue made of Scandinavian pine, surrounded by trees and with its very own field \u2013 it was just perfect,&#8221; the bride says.<\/p>\n<p>Rachelle and Rory, 36, wed at St Michael and All Angels Church at Daws Heath, just five minutes from their home on August 1, 2015 in front of 150 family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/MarriageCelebrant\/\">ceremony<\/a> was beautiful and intimate, with smiles all around. When signing the register, a choir sang from the balcony and surprised everyone. Sneaky Rory! A lovely surprise,&#8221; Rachelle says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The weather was warm and sunny all day, we had drinks on the field and took our seats in the tipis for our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingCaterers\/\">wedding breakfast<\/a> of sausage and mash. Once the evening guests arrived we took our first dance to In my Life by The Beatles. We then partied long into the night to my brother\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\">band<\/a>. Truly the most perfect day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyndseygoddard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Lyndsey Goddard Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div
