Sahara and Montes met at a club around Halloween 2024. They barely spoke that first night, choosing instead to stand together and listen to the music as though they already knew each other. That shared taste in music inspired their wedding two years later. The wedding came together at serious speed. They booked their venue, Sahara bought her dress and they organised the remaining details just two weeks before the day!

Leah repeatedly referred to her wedding as a “fake wedding” because she and Mark skipped so many of the expected traditions that, apart from the legally binding bit, their day had very little interest in seeming like one. There was no aisle, personalised vows or first dance. There were six ceremony guests, several handmade outfits, competitive bingo and a table of temporary tattoos. It also happened to be on Leah’s 30th birthday! “I love my birthday but don’t love the idea of being centre of attention so thought what a good way to have a party, combine the two!" she said. "I got to spend the day with all my favourite people!”

They included Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball references which brought a 90s anime edge to the celestial styling.

Alexandra and Matthew discovered that wedding planning became much easier once they stopped trying to plan a wedding at all. Instead, they created a day around the things they actually cared about. They knew they wanted their dogs there and most importantly, they wanted their friends and family to have a good time, good food and lots of drinks. Everyone could wear what made them feel comfortable and the whole thing would be over in time for dinner.

Clare and Jon first met when Clare worked at his parents’ chip shop as a teenager. They fell in love quickly and spent several years together before life pulled them in different directions. Jon's culture required him to have arranged marriage with someone with the same beliefs. "We ended up drifting apart", Clare told us. "He moved away and I had no idea where he was. But after 20 years we found each other again, got back together and Jon decided he had to follow his heart. Getting married was a dream come true and very emotional. No-one was surprised to see us back together and said it was how it always should have been. It was like the 20 years just melted away and the spark was stronger than ever. A real life Disney fairytale."
