Charlotte & Harry: Dedham Church & marquee wedding!

How It All Began

Charlotte and Harry first met when they were just 13, sharing a brief teenage romance before life took them in different directions. Fast forward to a friend’s 21st birthday party, where Charlotte made a move on Harry, only to discover—much to her disappointment—that he had a girlfriend. Not one to stick around awkwardly, she quickly got up and left the table.

But fate wasn’t done with them yet. Three months later, at another friend’s birthday, Harry was excited to announce that he was now single. Charlotte seized the opportunity, and from that moment on, their love story truly began.

The Proposal

After seven years together, Harry was ready to propose—but not without keeping Charlotte on her toes. In classic “sneaky fiancé” style, he had her pack his entire suitcase for their trip to Spain, making sure she knew there was no ring hidden inside. Little did she know, he had already given it to her parents three weeks earlier to drive down with them.

On a sun-drenched beach in Spain, surrounded by their families and even Harry’s beloved Granny, he got down on one knee. It was the perfect moment, filled with love, surprise, and a little bit of trickery!

Choosing the Perfect Venue

For Charlotte, the choice of venue was an easy one. "I always knew I wanted to get married in my local Church from a young age," she shares. Thankfully, Harry wholeheartedly agreed, making their dream wedding location an easy decision.

The Wedding Style & Theme

Their wedding will be a beautifully classic English celebration—timeless, romantic, and filled with soft, elegant hues. Think delicate blush pinks, crisp whites, and subtle hints of blue, creating an atmosphere of effortless charm and elegance.

Advice for Other Couples

Charlotte and Harry had some words of wisdom for couples starting their wedding planning journey:

"Don’t stress! There will be busy times and quiet times—try to enjoy the journey and don’t wish the time away."
