Jessie & Mark’s fête fun, games, and baking wedding

This UK fête wedding had all the games you’d expect: Splat the Alien, a Nerf-gun Monster Shooting Gallery, and a Hook-A-Duck. Plus they had board games, a baking contest, and even Tombola!

I’m going on 300 weddings edited and this is the FIRST French wedding I’ve done! In fact, we haven’t seen one in over two years. But when it finally came around, it came around with a bang.

Maeraj and Michael met online and their first date lasted twelve and a half hours! About a year and a half later, Michael proposed at that same coffee shop, Back to the Grind. And where were the ceremony and reception held? That same coffee shop! It’s full circle for this love story.
