Hannah and Nicola\u2019s love story is like something from a modern fairytale.<\/p>\n

Both teachers, the pair met at work, after both had moved to London from the south-west.<\/p>\n

\u201cNic basically stalked me until I had no option but give in,\u201d Hannah says with a laugh.<\/p>\n

But a turbulent few years followed as Hannah worked towards coming out to friends and family.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove prevailed and the rest is history,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

After a perfect proposal on the beach in Devon, the couple began planning their rustic wedding, choosing Blake Hall in Ongar, Essex, for their July 30, 2018 celebrations.<\/p>\n

Seventy friends and family were there to support the couple at their very personal big day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main priority for us was that it had to reflect us and be what we wanted,\u201d Hannah says of the rustic wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving friends and family involved was the most important part of our day. Having our mums walk us down the aisle, our best friends as bridesmaids, friends playing music for us, a friend making the wedding cake, donated wedding dresses and handmade favours made our day special and unique to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The proposal was perfect,” Hannah recalls. “Nic took me away to Devon, Salcombe, to stay in a beach hut that had been featured on George Clarke\u2019s Amazing Spaces<\/em>. We were sat outside, right on the beach front, with blankets and some bubbly. Nic had hidden the ring in a welly boot, took it out and got down on one knee and popped the question. Lots of tears and smiles followed along with the owner of the hut walking up the beach to us and asking Nic \u2018have you done it yet?\u2019. It\u2019s a good job she had!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Our wedding was a celebration of many years together getting to the point that we did. It was a day all about true love conquering all, no matter what,” Hannah says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Flower arrangements for the rustic wedding were created by The Flower Mill<\/a>. “I saw Karen\u2019s flowers on Instagram through Blake Hall and fell in love with her style. We met her at the
\nBlake Hall wedding show and she was such a lovely lady and her flowers were stunning,” Hannah says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
