Australian bride Hillary, 35, and UK groom Devindra, 38, fell in love in the UK winter, so it was only fitting they returned for an English Christmas wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can imagine Christmas is very different in the UK to an Australian Christmas, so we wanted to show that side to our guests travelling abroad,\u201d explains Hillary. \u201cIt is of course cold, but there is also a very different feel in the air with Christmas carols, mulled wine and Christmas markets all setting the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair wed on December 14, 2018 with 90 guests with a ceremony at Our Lady and the English Martyrs, Cambridge Catholic Church, and reception at Swynford Manor<\/a>, Six Mile Bottom. \u201cWe chose a couple of things to prioritise and tried to stick to the budget with the remaining items,\u201d says the bride. \u201cFor me, the bus was important as I wanted to show overseas guests the London bus. It honestly made the day perfect.”<\/p>\n

“I picked this dress after discussing with my mum,” explains the bride. “I wanted her to be able to see me in the dress<\/a> even though she couldn\u2019t be there on the day.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
