Lucy and Adam met at a New Year’s Eve party of a joint friend, “I was eating a stolen pot of Pringles and Adam asked if the seat next to me was taken and the rest is history!” recalls Lucy. “It definitely wasn’t his thick silver chain or his fresh shaven hair that attracted me to him, it was the way he made me laugh constantly and that he was so caring and thoughtful. Adam would say I’m funny, I always have him in stitches (I’d also say I’m very funny!). He also loves my eyes, so maybe that too!” Fast-forward to the day of the proposal, 19th of October, the day before Lucy’s birthday at The Ned in London. “We were in the room getting ready to go down for dinner and all of a sudden I turned round and Adam is on one knee, but shouts ‘no I’m not ready!’ so I have to look away again! At this point he’s dropped the ring and panicked! I thought to myself ‘only Adam’. We was both very emotional, it was so special. The next day we came home to my parents’ house to a surprise party with our closest family – it was so lovely!” The big day was set 29th October 2021, with Braxted Park in Witham, Essex providing the ultimate backdrop. Here we find out more about their day... SETTING THE SCENE High on the wedding planning agenda is finding the venue, and Lucy and Adam fell in love with Braxted Park. “The driveway is stunning as soon as you enter the grounds,” shares Lucy. “The venue is honestly incredible and has the most amazing black and white dance area. My dad is in a band called Souled Out and we had always said we wanted his band there; we knew that we could have the full band in there on the amazing stage they have.” It wasn’t just the reception setting the couple had in mind, they also felt the ceremony room was just as breathtaking, just enough quirky to complement the pair. For the finer details of the day, the couple opted for a black and gold colour scheme and the following finishing touches: their favours were drink tokens made by Wedding Lux, as well as personalised biscuits made by Georgia’s Cakes. Each table was named after songs that meant something to the newlyweds and their REAL WEDDINGS 39
