We asked Jacqueline and Jonathan to answer some questions for our Real Weddings Q&A, and here's what they had to say:
When did you get married?
Saturday 12th August 2000
What room did you get married in?
I believe it was then called the Garden Room & the Function Suite We stayed overnight at Old Thorns "Complimentary Honeymoon Suite #57"
Why did you choose Old Thorns for your wedding?
Almost 24 years ago, there were limited places available to hire for a civil ceremony. At the time, Old Thorns were able to provide a package for our budget. We visited a few venues, and Old Thorns were the most welcoming and accommodating. They couldn't do enough for us. They made us feel so special.
What was the style/vibe of your wedding?
Intimate, personal & very family oriented.
What was your favourite moment of the day?
On speaking to my husband, we have a few. My arrival was amazing, arriving in an old vintage car, and we had a red carpet that led us into the venue. My husband loved having the string quartet playing throughout the day. The food was outstanding
What did you love about your wedding day?
Absolutely everything. I wouldn't have changed a thing & we would do it all again in a heartbeat with all the people who were there
Any tips for future couples?
To take time to step back & look around to take it all in. The day goes past in a flash.
