When Marcus proposed to Bryony while sitting with their Hungarian Viszla puppy and sharing a bottle of wine in their Lechlade cottage backyard, their ceremony venue choice seemed obvious.<\/p>\n
“We live in the churchyard, can see the spire from our bedroom window and can hear the church bells on a Sunday morning,” Bryony says of local St Lawrence Church.\u00a0“I got ready at home with my bridesmaids and my Dad walked me down the church path to the ceremony.”<\/p>\n
The pair, aged 30 and 31 respectively, let family, connection and history influence the direction of their springtime DIY wedding.<\/p>\n
Decorations, wedding favours and cakes were handcrafted by family and friends, something Bryony says made the day uniquely theirs.<\/p>\n
“If that wasn’t enough, my Dad surprised me with a bagpiper to accompany us to the church as a homage to our Scottish heritage,” smiles the bride.<\/p>\n
110 guests joined the pair for the April 28, 2018 festivities, which continued into the night at a beautiful marquee reception at Stanford Hall – Marcus’ family home.<\/p>\n
