Finally! After 3 Covid date changes, Hannah + James married at Woodstock Wedding Barn.

Hannah + James found each other young: year seven in fact! So they’ve grown up together. When they decided to marry, after many years together, bloody Covid got in the way! Three date changes later, I was very pleased to marry them at the beautiful Woodstock Wedding Barn, just outside York. We made it worth the wait!

Hannah walked down the aisle to Ronan Keating’s This I Promise You. During the certificate signing, we listened to more Ronan - Forever Ain’t Enough.

*Together we will create a home, becoming a part of one another…*
During the ceremony, Hannah and James exchanged personal wedding vows which they had written themselves, with a tiny bit of tweaking from me! They both opted to keep their wedding vows a secret, which meant that they each had an emotional surprise on the day.

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am when I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what you have made of yourself,
But for what you are making of me.

Hannah’s friend Ellie delivered a beautiful reading during the wedding ceremony. Roy Croft’s I Love You reflects on the power of love to transform a person, helping them be the best version of themselves.
