Basingstoke Gazette:

Ady and Julia Heath 

LAST month saw the glamorous wedding of Julia and Ady Heath, from Tadley, who opted to say ‘I do’ in Malcestine Castle in Lake Garda, Italy.
The historical site, which enjoys stunning views, made for an impressive backdrop for the loved-up couple’s ceremony on July 28.
Mr Heath’s best man was Barry Stafford, a friend of almost 20 years while Mrs Heath’s flower girl was daughter Elsie. 
Guests travelled by boat to reach the venue for the reception, an Italian restaurant named La Voglia on the lake. 
The newlyweds returned to the UK to have a “child-free mini-moon” at Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot. 
The couple, who own a vehicle repairs business, have been together for eight years. They said their whole wedding day was “completely perfect” and they “loved every minute of it”. 

Basingstoke Gazette:

Rosie and Jonathan Champion 

IT WAS the hottest day of the year so far when Rosie married her partner of three years Jonathan Champion in an elegant and understated wedding at Basingstoke Registry Office. 
Mr Champion was flanked by best man Casey Eldridge while Mrs Champion was supported by her maid of honour Kayleigh Butler when the pair exchanged vows on Saturday, June 29. 
Speaking to the Gazette, Mrs Champion said the whole day managed to come in under a small budget. She said: “Our whole wedding plus after-party only cost us £1,000.” 
She said the highlight of the day for both of them was getting married on the warmest day of 2019 to date.
