Jade and Martina said “I do” at Alfriston Gardens and styled their day in a pretty palette of pinks, greys and greens Images courtesy of Jo Sweeney Photography Jade and Martina met in a cocktail bar back in 2017 and soon became friends. They enjoyed seven months getting to know each other before deciding to make it official in 2018 and moved in together shortly after. Martina proposed in the summer of 2023, while the two were on holiday in Riviera May, Mexico. They enjoyed a candlelit dinner on the beach in a tipi before Martina popped the question as they enjoyed a walk along the sand. “I had no idea,” Jade remembers. The couple viewed a number of venues but nowhere felt right until they visited Alfriston Gardens. “Even though it was tipping down with rain, we just looked at each other, and without saying a word, we both knew,” Jade explains. “It was a special moment, and Martina cried.” The venue’s Janie was a delight, and the couple felt very welcome. Thanks to her warmth, humour, enthusiasm and attention to detail they knew they were in safe hands. Wasting no time, they pencilled in their date, 29th May 2024, and cancelled their remaining viewings! “We particularly loved the fact that we could have the wedding and reception in one place, and that family and friends could stay,” Jade says. They had just nine months to plan! Join us bride Jade tells us more... COUNTRY GARDEN An English 38
