your wedding The Montagu Arms Hotel
As the anticipation and excitement builds, she takes one last look in the mirror, admiring her exquisite ivory gown, as she fixes her veil into place amongst the delicate curls…her day is finally here. She takes a deep breath and makes her way to the top of the oak staircase, the chatter and elation of her family and friends echoing through the hall of the 17th century house. She lovingly pictures her groom at the end of the aisle as she descends; time seems to slow, her train following her elegantly to the last step when she glides onto her red carpet, the chatter ceases, and all eyes are on her...

Quintessentially English
Her new husband takes her hand, sweeps her into his arms and they dance their first dance of many. She takes a moment to savour the day; remembering his vows, declared with the truest love, their first kiss as husband and wife and her father’s speech, spoken through a tear with the utmost adoration. This most unforgettable day must come to an end, more special than she could have dreamed of, but just the beginning of their journey together.
