Your Kent Wedding - Page number 50 - July/August 2021 (Issue 97)

J ade and George met when she pushed in front of him at a bar! He didn’t seem to mind though as he ended up buying her a drink and the pair got chatting. We hop forward and by this time a couple, the two were on a group holiday in Turkey. George had booked a table at a restaurant for a little private time away from their travel companions. Then, before going to meet friends for drinks afterwards, he made up an excuse to go back to their room. Jade arrived to find it decorated in rose petals with a bottle of champagne waiting, and that’s when George popped the question. “It was a complete surprise,” Jade tells us. The pair had originally intended to tie the knot in Ibiza, with the legalities conducted at Danson House in Bexley, but just a month beforehand Covid restrictions kicked in making the lion’s share of the plan impossible. “I was completely heartbroken after planning the wedding for two years, but my mum, close friends and bridesmaid’s mum all pulled together to give us our Ibiza wedding in England,” Jade says. As luck would have it, the wedding took place on the hottest day of the year, so they were certainly able to enjoy some Mediterranean-like sunshine. “It was so hot everyone had to get changed into cooler clothes,” Jade remembers. Join us as the bride tells us more about the big day, 7 th August, 2020... “Ever since I was little I’ve been obsessed with lace. I went to so many shops and fell in love with a lot of dresses, but eventually chose an Enzoni beaded lace gown. Being figure hugging yet light, it was just what I was looking for. “In line with our neutral theme, George wore a beige linen suit. The groomsmen were dressed to match minus the tie and jacket.” “My bridesmaids wore champagne/gold silk dresses. I fell in love with them and feel sure the girls will be able to wear them again. As a ‘thank you’ for their support, I gave them all lovely personalised cards from Etsy, champagne-coloured bridal robes, matching earrings and a delicate bracelet each to match their dresses.” 50
