Pippa and Daniel were married at Barton Hall in Kettering. The inspiration for their wedding came from the bride's engagement ring, which the groom had designed himself. It features a large amethyst stone in the centre (the bride's birthstone) and that, alongside a bright blue which Daniel loves, became the colour scheme. Daniel knew he wanted an untraditional suit in blue and the colour amethyst was a perfect choice for the bridesmaid's dresses.

"It is nearly impossible to describe how it felt to walk among stones that have stood there for millennia", Shawna wrote. "They have seen empires collapse, civilizations come and go, and yet, there they stand. And while they are not as perfectly placed as they once were thousands of years ago, they are still there and will be for a long time to come. We were, and are, in awe."
