I have stayed very close to home this week with the beautiful wedding of friends of ours, who live just 10 minutes away.

Special thanks to Lee Hatherall and David Charleston Matthews for letting me share their fabulous photography. Introducing Sam and Marc...

Sam and Marc met on a night out organised through a friend. When asked by her friend if Sam was keen on Marc, Sam exclaimed "Like?! I'm going to marry him!"

That was in 2005, and after 4 years together Marc proposed in 2009 with his late mother's engagement ring, which absolutely meant the world to Sam. Their special day was on 31st May 2010 with a traditional ceremony at Corpus Christi Church in Weston super Mare, complete with a vintage bus which kept everyone together and took the happy couple and all 60 guests to the reception at Cadbury House Hotel. 

The boys from Marc's cycling club took their wheels to the Church doors and displayed a bicycle guard of honour, as they walked hand in hand out the church.

The resourceful bride and her friends made as much as they could for the wedding, spent hours drying rose petals for confetti and making metres of bunting. It was important to Sam and Marc that all their families were involved, with her Sister as the only bridesmaid, her Brother an usher, Marc's brother as best man, Marc's dad reading in Church, her Sister in law as the hair artist, her Mum and Nan arranging all the flowers and her Dad making the incredible tiered sponge cake.

The wedding reflected a vintage country style, with flowers in old jugs and teapots, cider as the welcome drink and a hog roast in the evening and place names held in apples. 100 guests joined them in the evening and danced the night away.

Sam recalls her shoes being one of the highlights of the day!

They travelled around Europe on an extended honeymoon and gorgeous baby Alfie was born in December 2012.

Welcome back to the new Wonderful Wedding Wednesday feature.  If you missed the first last week, catch up on the quintessential English Wedding of Mr and Mrs Webb here.

Every week I will bring you a beautiful couple, on the most magical day of their lives. How lucky to have old and new friends, who have had such lovely weddings!

Without further a do, let me introduce this week's happy couple Clare and John...

Clare and John met in 2007, when Clare was working for an international airline based out of Heathrow. She had flown to Sydney on an overnight flight and they found themselves in the same bar, on an ordinary Monday night. They never spent more than 3 weeks apart during their 15 month long distance romance and Clare would try and swap her roster, to include as many Honk Kong/Sydney trips as possible, even though that meant just 36 hours together.

After countless flights both working and as a passenger and a couple of trips to the UK for John, as well as half way meets in Honk Kong, Clare managed to gain a place on an exchange programme working for the airline's Australian partner for 12 months. But after moving in together immediately, it was clear she was never going home!

John proposed to Clare in San Francisco in August 2009. They were just about to cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge to have lunch in Sausalito, with Clare's parents who had flown in from London to meet them for a few days. John surprised Clare with a ring he had designed himself and it was perfect! Returning to Sydney on cloud nine they set the wedding date for just 9 months later on 24th May 2010.

They wanted to get married in Europe to include as many of their closet friends and family as possible. As John's mother is half Greek half Italian, a wedding in Italy was high on the list of possible venues. Clare was flicking through Hello magazine one day and saw Gary Lineker’s wedding to Danielle Bux. She immediately fell in love with their venue and decided to book the Town Hall and Hotel Caruso in Ravello on the Amalfi coast for their special day.

They had just 25 guests. The perfect intimate wedding.

Clare said of their incredible day " The most magical part of day was walking in and seeing John waiting for me along with our closest friends and family. The string quartet was playing and it was the most romantic setting, surrounded by beautiful old buildings and flowers. I remember just feeling so lucky and blessed. The day was truly perfect even with the rain, which held off and started the moment the ceremony was over. The rain clouds actually enhanced the photos by the infinity pool and made them very mystical."

Clare was so happy she didn't even care that her dress ended up completely soaked by the end of it!  

Thank you to Susan Wright for letting me share her magical photographs. 

Clare and John's beautiful daughter Sophia was born in October 2011 and baby Daley number 2 is due in October this year. Congratulations to this very happy family!

Introducing Melanie and Adam... 

This happy couple met in the summer of 2006 when they were working together on Vanessa Feltz's chat show. Melanie was his assistant producer and he was the producer so technically he was her boss! A quiet romance blossomed and they had their first proper date the day after filming finished. That was seven years ago!

Adam proposed in December 2011, in New York. He surprised Melanie on the balcony of the hotel on their first night, and Melanie was so jet lagged, out of it and a little bit drunk (her words!) that it took her a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on! He had planned it all and asked her dad's for permission before they left.

They married in Surrey in front of 80 guests, near where Melanie grew up, and chose the church and the barn venue, simply because they fell in love with them. Melanie's nieces Freya and Sophia did a wonderful job as bridesmaids and the sun shone brightly over the happy couple.

A huge thank you to Steve Fuller, their photographer, for letting me share his beautiful images.

Melanie said of their dream day "It was all totally amazing and everything we both dreamed it would be. If I had to pick something that was most special, I would say it was being surrounded by all our close friends and family - it was amazing to share our day with everyone we love."

Melanie now works in PR for the film industry and Adam is the Events Producer at Masterchef. Mr and Mrs Webb currently live in Tulse Hill/Brixton, but are planning to move slightly outside of London this year. Wishing them a happy house hunt!
