Just before I walked down the aisle, my dad whispered in my ear what a wonderful decision he thought I was making which was such a memorable moment for me. Because we live in Yorkshire and Matt is from there, we chose Henderson’s Relish, a quintessentially Sheffield condiment as our favours to bring an element of Yorkshire into our Devon-based day. Matt’s mum, Julie spent time peeling off the old stickers on each bottle and replacing them with our custom-made wedding stickers. We wrote our own vows. We did it separately and didn’t share them with each other until the ceremony. It was so beautiful to hear how very similar they were on the day. From the beginning of our wedding planning journey, the most important thing to both of us was to create a day which reflected us and was going to feel easy and fun for our guests. We both have big, closeknit families and were so excited for everyone to meet. Our parents and siblings were a huge part of the planning and we loved looking around on our wedding day to see the little touches that represented them all. The owner of Harefield Barn, Deborah put so much thought and attention into making the barn feel warm and welcoming for us, and we loved the variety of different spaces available. Harefield Barn is a truly beautiful venue with so much potential to make it your own! We wanted a venue where we could hold both the ceremony and reception and where the focus could be on enjoying the beauty of Devon with our family and friends. Harefield Barn was the first venue we viewed and we knew straight away that it was the one. 32
