Glemsford, Sudbury, UK
Story
Faye and I met when each of our hobbies of dancing and technical theatre cross paths for a dance showcase at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge. Whilst the experts performed on stage I danced along badly in the wings. For some reason Faye found this endearing rather than cringe-inducing, or so she says! We chatted at the after show party into the early hours, and kept in contact. Before long it was "Scone Day", the official (but slightly arbitrary) milestone for the start of our relationship.

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
Is there an Order of Service for the wedding ceremony?
Yes. You can find a PDF copy at . We'll have paper copies available at the church.
When will the coaches depart Boxted Hall for Glemsford Church?
The first journey departs at 12:10, and the second at 12:40.
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by the 31st of March.
Can I bring a date?
Please check your invite for your +1!
Are kids welcome?
Unfortunately, as much as we'd love to invite all of our friends' children, we can only accommodate a few close family children. We hope that you will understand this decision, and that you will still be able to join us on our special day.
Where should I park?
The farm next to the church has kindly offered some space for parking during the ceremony. Space is limited, so please consider car-sharing from our reception venue's car park at Boxted Hall.
There is plenty of parking available at Boxted Hall. Cars may be left overnight at Boxted Hall to be collected by 10am the next day.
Will there be a bar in the evening?
There will be a cash bar serving drinks including a couple of our most popular cocktails. We'll put some money behind the bar for some drinks, but please consider bringing some cash (contactless might be available, depending on the signal reception).
What should I wear?
Semi-formal.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony and breakfast are indoors but canapés will be outside and our evening celebration will be in a marquee. The dancing will be energetic, but the nights may get cooler.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Wear what you feel comfortable in. There will be Ceilidh dancing in the evening so flats are recommended.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
We will have a professional photographer on the day. Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, however you're welcome to capture the day using your own cameras and phones, and we'd love for you to share these with us, for example on our app Joy.
What should/could I do between the ceremony and the reception?
Please see the Travel & Accommodation section for a list of local restaurants and things to do.
Is there a gifts registry?
Your presence at our wedding is gift enough, but, should you wish to give a gift as well, a cash gift to put towards our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated.
I have dietary needs, how should I pick my food choices?
There is a dedicated question in the RSVP for all guests to list any allergies and dietary requirements. For those attending the wedding breakfast, we've highlighted some specifically vegetarian and gluten free options. Our caterer can modify some of the meals to meet specific needs. Please select your preferred options from the menu, and we will contact the caterer to see whether your dietary needs can be matched with your choices.
Is there Uber/public transport for getting home?
We recommend that you car share or book your taxi in advance. Boxted Hall is in a rural setting, and there's limited public transport and taxis.
How can I see the order of the day on the website?
To see more details about the order of the day, please login to the website (e.g. click "find invite" on the web page.
What confetti can/should we bring?
We'll have the right kind of confetti for our venue, so need to worry!
