Ten years after a very ordinary Tuesday and a very bad first date, we're doing the thing. Whistle Barns is a proper old timber barn in the Eastwood fields, and in late July the meadow around it is full of cow parsley, ox-eye daisies and scabious — which felt like us.
Everything you need is on this page: how to get there, where to park, and the menu for the wedding breakfast. Tell us which dishes you'd like and anything we should know about allergies, and we'll pass it all to the kitchen.
Thank you, truly — for the lifts, the late phone calls, and now for a whole day of your summer. It means the world.
Brad & Em
Barn Lane, Eastwood NG16 3PJ. The lane is single-track for the last half mile, so allow ten extra minutes — and follow the hand-painted signs rather than your sat-nav's shortcut.
Free parking for 90 cars in the top meadow, with stewards from 11:30 am. Cars may be left overnight and collected before 11 am on Friday.
Nottingham station is 25 minutes away. A shuttle bus meets the 11:42 arrival and returns at 11:30 pm — tell us in your RSVP if you'd like a seat.
Book taxis well ahead — Eastwood Cars, 01773 000 000. The Sun Inn and Grange Farm B&B are both a five-minute drive.
Open from the ceremony until midnight. Brad has insisted on a negroni on the welcome tray.
Somewhere quiet for the grandparents, and a very old telephone box for the photos you'll all take in it.
Bacon rolls at eleven for anyone still standing, and cars can stay overnight in the meadow.

Between all of you there will be a thousand moments we never saw — the quiet ones, the daft ones, the bits we missed while we were busy getting married. We'd love every single one.
There's a page here to send them straight to us. No albums to make, no links to chase — just pick them off your phone and they come to us.
