Lucy and Simon paid tribute to several of their pop culture faves at their quirky wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn’t want it to be too ‘put together’ but wanted it to include all of the things we love,\u201d says Lucy, 28. \u201cThis included a nod to our favourite film, 500 Days of Summer<\/em> with an \u2018I Love Us\u2019 cake topper and walking back down the aisle to Hall and Oate\u2019s You make my dreams come true<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple are also huge Mumford and Sons fans \u2014 having previously travelled to Iceland and Paris to see them. \u201cIt only felt right we had a Mumford and Sons style band for the evening \u2014 they were a huge hit!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucy didn\u2019t forget to include one of Simon\u2019s favourite things \u2014 Lord of the Rings<\/em>. \u201cI bought him a map of middle earth cufflinks to wear. I also finished my vows with \u2018I would rather spend one lifetime with you than face all of the ages of this world alone\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon, also 28, is a graphic designer so oversaw creating the stationery<\/a> and signage for the day. \u201cHe created a cartoon drawing of each one of our guests for the place names and table plan,\u201d recalls the bride. \u201cHe also drew pictures of our chosen flowers with pastels and we used this as the basis for our design.\u201d<\/p>\n

“My mum actually chose my dress,” recalls Lucy. “I didn\u2019t like it on the hanger and nearly dismissed it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Our photographer was the incredible Rob Dodsworth. We wanted someone who didn\u2019t take themselves too seriously, who could have a good laugh with us, with a relaxed, candid photography style that could capture our personalities,” praises Lucy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“For food we served afternoon tea, because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love afternoon tea? And we had a local crepe van in the evening which we all ate around the fire pits,” says Lucy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The most memorable moment of the day was right at the end of the night. Everyone was on the dancefloor and the band had just finished. All of our guests chanted ‘just one more’ so the band sang Champagne Supernova<\/em>. This has become our unofficial wedding song and brings back so many memories of our day whenever we hear it,” smiles the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
