Though Natalie Leach and James O’Regan first met as three year-olds at playschool, love blossomed between the two much later in life.<\/p>\n

Natalie and Jim, both 31, wanted to create a unique and personal wedding that truly represented them as a couple.<\/p>\n

The pair’s legal ceremony at Weston-super-Mare Registry Office lasted all of 10 minutes and was witnessed by only their\u00a0mothers.<\/p>\n

However, on August 26, 2016 at an official celebrant-led ceremony, Natalie and Jim exchanged vows\u00a0before 140 guests at their vintage festival wedding.\u00a0Dubbing their wedding\u00a0‘WedFest’, the pair\u00a0said ‘I do’ in the village where they first met\u00a0– East Huntspill, Somerset.<\/p>\n

Their vintage\u00a0farm wedding was split into two – 60 guests for the day, and a further 80 for the evening. This allowed for a Harvest Home-style lunch for daytime guests, and a more hearty Hog roast for the evening guests.<\/p>\n

“We wanted a day as unique as we are as a couple, surrounded by our most favourite people in the world,” explains Natalie. “It truly was a day prepared with love and filled with happiness.”<\/p>\n

Natalie advises couples embarking on the same journey to “make it about you – it’s impossible to please everyone!”<\/p>\n

The WedFest was held on Jim’s aunt and uncle’s farm. With a bit of DIY<\/a>, the location became Natalie and Jim’s dream venue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
