Jess took a little more convincing but after six months of Matt’s persistence (despite numerous refusals) she finally saw the light. Seven blissful years on, Matt popped the question while on a sailing trip around the Greek Islands, and their wedding planning began.

Both being averse to the word ‘venue’, it took a while to find the right setting but eventually it was The House Meadow at Worsenden Farm near Rye that ticked all the boxes. “They said we could do absolutely anything we wanted and be as creative as we wished, so it was perfect,” explains Jess. <img alt="Tying the knot" class="size-portrait_thumbnail js-gallery-grid-src-image img-container__image wp-image-36918 alignnone size-portrait_thumbnail js-gallery-src-image img-container__image" height="390" sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px, (min-width: 768px) 728px, (min-width: 576px) 556px, calc(100vw -
