Couple: Louis and Jessica Parker, from Ellesmere Port
When/where was the wedding? Crabwall Manor in Chester, Friday, July 26, 2024
Where was the reception? Crabwall Manor in Chester
Where/how did you meet? We met eight years ago through family and have been inseparable ever since. Our first time apart was this year when we both went away for our hen and stag dos.
Proposal? After a hectic few years having our babies, when our youngest was just four-months-old I was out working and Louis had transformed our home with rose petals, photos of our memories and balloons over the ceiling. It was perfect for us, so intimate and special and both our children was involved.
Where were the dress/suits from? My dress was from Dorothy Rose Bridal Boutique in Great Sutton and Louis' suit was hired from a suit shop in West Kirby.
What about flowers, hair/makeup: Carol Anne's Florist did all our flowers. We had an ice cream bike, donut wall and sweet cart, plus a bouncy castle, ball pit and ride-ons. We also had garden games over the lawn. Our make up was done by Claudia at Doll Beauty HQ in Chester. Hair was done by the amazing Becky Bowler and Adele Stoneley.
Who was the photographer/videographer? Our photographer was Ian and videographer was called Amy-Jo Mcgin.
Best man/bridesmaids: Louis had his brother Dan Parker as his best man, he also had life long friends Alfie, Rhys, Jordan and Jack as groomsmen, plus my brother Ben the cabbie and both our dads in matching suits. I had 21 bridesmaids, eight being children - Nancy-Mae, Rosie, Amina, Georgina, Ella, Leah, Adele, Rebecca, Nikki, Carlee, Chloe, Alisha, Alex, Lottie, Gracie, Elsie, Delilah, Ameila, Mia, Hayley and Paige.
What was the best part of the day? From the moment I woke up the day was filled with love. Everyone involved in our day meant so much to us. It meant the world having them all around us and a part of our special day.
Anyone to thank for helping make the day special? My dad Mark was an incredible part of our day, him and his wife contributed towards our big day by paying toward our venue and giving the most amazing speech. Also my mother Liz, who went above and beyond to make sure me and Louis felt amazing on our day. Plus Louis' mum and dad for being with Louis on the morning, making sure he was all suited and booted and ready.
Honeymoon? In September we're planning a family-moon with our two young girls, Nancy-Mae and Rosie.
