An Essex Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 110)

The happy couple were in London celebrating Jessica’s birthday the night Ross proposed. Following a meal, the pair grabbed an Uber back to the hotel. However, due to traffic, or so Jessica thought, the Uber stopped and let them out just by Tower Bridge. Jessica explains, “I was freezing cold and said ‘no!’ but Ross got out. I’d worked in the city for 10 years and never witnessed Tower Bridge open, but at midnight on the 12th September 2021 there we were, on our own, with the bridge opening. It was purely beautiful, a few people gathered and once it reopened the crowds moved on, and it left just Ross and I. We took a picture and strolled over hand in hand and came to the quiet gardens surrounding the Tower of London, the heart of where we’d worked together and had our first date. Ross stopped and got down on one knee, of course I said yes and cried my eyes out.” Goosebumps anyone? How romantic. On New Year’s Eve 2022, the pair said their I dos in front of loved ones at Mulberry House. Here, Jessica tells us more about their day… SETTING THE SCENE Mulberry House was the only venue Jessica and Ross viewed, wanting a beautiful venue capable of hosting their big family so no one had to worry about driving. Following Christmas, Mulberry House was decorated elegantly with festive decorations, which fitted perfectly with the pair’s monochrome theme with a touch of silver. 37 REAL WEDDINGS
