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."

Bella and Edward's wedding in Breaking Dawn Part 1 was the main inspiration for Destiny and Kyle's New Jersey wedding. They wanted it to feel like they were marrying in a dark, enchanted forest. "I never really saw myself getting married but to me their wedding was THE wedding", Destiny said. "At least that was the main idea then we started adding a bit of a fairytale twist."

Zoe and Stephen didn’t just plan one wedding—they planned two. First came a private legal ceremony, held a month ahead of their big day, where Zoe wore a dinosaur print dress. But the main event was an immersive, nerd-tastic celebration centred around all the things and people they love. “Each week as we planned, we’d come back to the same question,” Zoe said, “Does this choice fit our ethos of having the things we love with the people we love?”

We feature a lot of Disney inspired weddings, but I think this may be the first Disney Villain themed day, and quite frankly its a genius idea for a Spooky Season wedding! Peter and Kayleigh were married in Liverpool last October and they wanted a mix of traditional and alternative elements to go along with a sprinkle of Disney Halloween.

and friends at the start of December, but they didn't get the legal bit sorted out at the same time. Just before Christmas, the couple needed to attend Warwick Registry office to sign the papers. However, they didn't just want to go down in their wedding outfits or jeans, they wanted to make it fun and so opted to hire their photographer again and dress as Batman and Snow White, because why the hell not, right? A few of their theatre friends and besties came along, also dressed as their favourite Marvel or Disney characters and they got some truly memorable photos of the day.

Charlotte and Jack's wedding had a really unique location - Southend Pier! The day had a retro theme with Disney references throughout. "Our wedding theme was 'Grease meets the Great British Seaside!'", said the bride. "We were inspired by lots of wedding blogs, especially Rock n Roll Bride! We saw so many couples who had a day that reflected them and that's what inspired us to plan a wedding that people would describe as completely us. Also, we saw so many weddings that looked like they and the guests were having a total blast, so we wanted to have a day full of fun!"
