Alex and Stephen

21st August 2025 – Middleton Lodge, Main House

How we both met

TINDER!

In the words of Jo, we both swiped right and the groom broke the ice using an inappropriate chat up line and the bride succumb to his charm.

The Wedding Venue

Middleton Lodge, Main House.

Why we chose to have a celebrant wedding ceremony

We wanted a more personal and loving ceremony that could incorporate our story and include our wedding guests in the celebration. Jo did that perfectly!

We also loved that we could toast our love during the ceremony with tequila rose shots!!

Ideas about what our ceremony could have looked like

We had no idea what we wanted!

Jo worked closely with us to bring out all the best parts of our love story and time together. We’re over the moon with what Jo brought to the table and her ideas were an inspiration producing the best ceremony imaginable.

The best part of the ceremony for us

Listening to our love story beautifully spoken amongst family and friends, reminiscing over our years together and feeling so excited for our future together.

What our guests said about our wedding ceremony/day

Our guests commented on the gorgeous vibe our ceremony brought to the day.

The guests felt our wedding day was filled with love, laughter and happiness!
