Deborah (Instagram: @nannasparks) Married in June 2006

When I met Jon I knew without hesitation that he was the only person I could spend my life with. So certain were we, that once we had decided to get married I booked and organised our entire wedding within two weeks. When we met, we both already had children from previous relationships and so for us, getting married was not only a way to seal our commitment to one another but also a celebration of the joining of two families to become one. During the ceremony when I entered the room, our favourite song' 'I knew I loved you before I met you' was playing. The lyrics to this song carry such a special meaning to the both of us. As I walked towards him, we looked at one another and in that moment both knew that we were the only people there who knew just how significant those words were.

Sometimes I wish I had met Jon earlier in my life, but when I look back, in some ways he came along at just the right moment. The first few years that followed our wedding came with challenges, I quit my office job to start Sparks and Daughters and within a few months was diagnosed with breast cancer. Keeping the business running while fighting cancer was exhausting but Jon was a constant source of love and support, stepping in the gap both physically and emotionally. Not just in the difficult times either, always there for me, he truly is my rock. I am so thankful for the 12 years that we have been married, Jon has shown me that when you're with someone you have always loved, even before you met them, marriage is easy.

Verity (Instagram: @mummasparks) Married August 2016

Lex and I met at secondary school and we first became a couple when we were just 14 so I guess it would be fair to say that we were childhood sweethearts. We even went to our prom together. We have grown up together.

Our wedding ceremony was held at Maunsel House in Somerset, a 13th Century Manor surrounded by parkland, lakes, woodlands, and orchards. We adore the countryside and celebrating our wedding in such a beautiful place gave us so many beautiful memories. We celebrated with our closest friends and family and the decor was filled with special creative touches made by me and my Mum, especially the metres and metres of bunting Mum spent so long sewing in the weeks before. One of the things that made our day so lovely was that Tilly was just over a year old and walking which meant that she could be our flower girl and I will forever cherish that she was able to share that day with us both.

Even though we've only been married for a couple of years, our entire story as a couple is filled with history, with many significant milestones and wonderful moments to cherish. It makes me so happy that we have countless stories to share with our daughter Tilly as she grows up.

Hannah - Married May 1999

I met my husband Scott when I was in my final year of secondary school. My mother had just changed jobs and he was working in the same store as her. It was actually my Mum who suggested we might get on well, so in effect, it was she who orchestrated our introduction - by way of a blind date. He was almost nineteen and I was sixteen. Less than three years later we had gotten engaged and three months after that we were married. We kept the wedding small, with only close friends and family and our budget was modest so lots of people pitched in to help us with all the details. It was also one of the last occasions we got to celebrate with Scott's Grandmother before she passed away. She lost her own husband at a very young age and was so brokenhearted she never married again which meant the spent her life working hard to raise her three children. Family meant everything to her.

Next year we will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I guess there aren't many people in their thirties these days who can say that. Coming from a divorced family, at one time I myself didn't think I'd ever say that. We, along with our thirteen year old son are a compact but solid and well-established family unit! We almost always know what one other is thinking, the three of us fit together perfectly and nothing comes between us.

Bethan - Married July 2009

When Rob and I got engaged and started making wedding plans, the one thing we wanted most was to have our wedding outdoors. When we booked our ceremony at Hornsbury Mill for a Saturday in July, we thought we'd have the best chances of fair weather. Then came to booking a registrar which became increasingly frustrating as we found it impossible to book anyone who could officiate our wedding before 4.00pm. We were really hoping to have the ceremony earlier in the day, but without any other options at hand we settled for a late afternoon service.

On the day of the wedding, my hopes for beautiful sunshine were dashed as the heavens opened and the rain poured for hours and hours. My heart sank a little as I paused from getting ready to look out of the window and saw the venue staff trying to dry everything off with paper towels. Then, at 3.30 the rain stopped. The skies cleared and the sun shone for the first time that day. We got the wedding we had hoped for after all. Nine years later I still remind myself that no matter the circumstances Rob and I weather the storms together because the sunshine will always follow the rain.
