Congratulations Mr & Mrs Skinner!
We are so excited to be sharing with you, a Q&A and selection of stunning images of Mark & Mikaela's beautiful wedding taken by Lou Osbourne during their wedding here at Old Thorns.
We asked Mark & Mikaela to answer some questions for our Real Weddings Q&A, and here's what they had to say:
When did you get married?
30th October 2021
What room did you get married in?
Married in the Hampshire Suite
Why did you choose Old Thorns for your wedding?
As soon as we saw Old Thorns it interested us and we wanted to see more.
What was the style/vibe of your wedding?
We had a rustic theme for our day.
What was your favourite moment of the day?
Our favourite part was getting all the families together and everyone getting along, chatting and enjoying themselves.
What did you love about your wedding day?
The whole experience from start to finish, but mainly the ease of the day and not having to worry about anything meant I could just enjoy the moment!
Any tips for future couples?
If you can, stay in the apartments! The rooms are bigger, and you have more space to get ready in and more relaxed.
