From the moment Richard\u00a0Moxom met Laure Doggett, he knew she was the love of his life.<\/p>\n

“Richard and I met when we were very young, one of the first things he ever said to me was that\u00a0he was going to marry me, and he was right!” Laura, 30, recalls.<\/p>\n

Richard, 34, proposed<\/a> four years later, but a wedding was far from Laura’s mind.<\/p>\n

“I had no question that we would spend our lives together, but… I was only 21 and it just wasn\u2019t on my mind,” she says.<\/p>\n

The Reading couple had a long five-year engagement before Richard popped the question for a second time on their 9th anniversary.<\/p>\n

“All of a sudden, it felt like the right thing,” Laura says.<\/p>\n

One year later on August 9, 2014, the couple held their intimate 60s wedding with 60 friends and family in Laura’s mum’s garden.<\/p>\n

“For me this was just as much a celebration of the adventures we\u2019d already had together as well as the promise to keep on sharing our lives,” Laura says.<\/p>\n

The bride looked beautiful in an authentic 1960s shift dress<\/a>, while her old Mini and a vintage Polaroid camera photo booth added to the retro style.<\/p>\n

“I was inspired to have the wedding as homemade as possible, we would save
\nmoney but it would also make the day unique and special,” Laura says.<\/p>\n

“We have lots of creative friends who got involved and helped us in all sorts of ways.”<\/p>\n

Laura is the first to admit she hates getting her photo taken, and credits her photographer<\/a> for putting her at ease. “One thing I’m so glad we did is stop off at a park with her in between
\nthe ceremony and reception. It was lovely to have some quiet time just us to take photos without an audience,” she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I always tell everyone planning their wedding<\/a> to make sure they spend every minute with their partner, hold their hand and don\u2019t let go. The day goes by in a flash and it’s easy to be swept up talking to all your guests and not spend any time together,” Laura says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When it came to wedding flowers<\/a>, Laura hit the market with a friend, who created the arrangements. “We included lots of daisies and I asked her to keep them quite wild,” she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
