The day was held at The Pheasantry Brewery, near their home in Nottinghamshire. As well as making their day feel perfect for them, their family and in particular their children ,were a really important part of the day. Between them they have five kids, two each from previous relationships and the youngest, Frank, together.

Self-confessed geeky feminists, Bunty and Sophie wanted a low key, low cost wedding that was full of love and personal details. "We’re both quite geeky so we wanted to have that reflected in the style of the day", Bunty explained. "We tried to incorporate science, plants, literature and my love of everything gold!
