British Vogue’s senior sustainability and features editor Emily Chan got married at Brympton House in Somerset, which stars in a new adaption of ‘Persuasion’ with Dakota Johnson as the lead.
There was one last decision to make. England had made it to the final of the Euros – and it happened to coincide with our new wedding date. With both Ali and I being big football fans, we went back and forth on whether to screen it. In the end, we decided not to; we didn’t want our wedding day to become a football viewing party – it was, after all, meant to bespecial day. Of course, people still watched on their phones, with all of us gathered around to watch the painful penalty shootout.
Being held mid-pandemic, the day naturally didn’t turn out exactly as we’d planned all those months before. I would have never imagined that our guests would be wearing masks during the ceremony; that some of our friends and family abroad wouldn’t be able to make it due to quarantine rules; or that some of our friends would have to pull out last minute after testing positive or being exposed. On top of that, it also rained all day – which we were told is meant to be good luck.
All that aside, we’re both so grateful that we could finally get married, given that no one knew how the Covid-19 situation would continue to evolve in the months and years to come. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that life is unpredictable. After a difficult 16 months, our wedding was the first opportunity we’d had to see many of our friends and family, and to celebrate with them in person. It was a truly magical day – and we’ll cherish the memories forever.
