Harriet and Lee’s wedding had a bright colour palette to set the scene Images courtesy of Red Peacock Photography H arriet and Lee met in a bar in Ampthill when they’d gone out with friends who happened to know each other. “We started chatting and over nine months became such good friends, which later blossomed into a relationship and we became inseparable,” recalls Harriet. On Lee’s 21 st birthday, the couple realised how much they felt for one another, “We went to Bournemouth to celebrate with friends. The next day we all went to the beach as it was roasting hot. We went off on our own for a walk, and stood at the end for the pier just talking.
