Our
Story
We first crossed paths in 2017, and it didn’t take long for us to realise we were onto something special. By 2018, we’d moved in together, mainly because Loz didn’t want to leave and Ash didn’t want to argue, but also because it felt like home.
The years that followed were filled with gigs, festivals, and plenty of late nights laughing over what Rodger was going to dress as in every episode of American Dad. In 2021, we decided life wasn’t chaotic enough, so along came Max, our chocolate crazy spaniel, who instantly became the boss of the house and completed our little trio.
Fast forward to 2024, when the three of us moved into our first home together. By sheer coincidence, or excellent planning, depending on who you ask, our moving day landed on our 7-year anniversary. Talk about meant to be!
Then came 2025, when Ash finally popped the question on a magical trip to the Peak District. Luckily, Lauren said yes, otherwise it would have been a very awkward drive home…
Looking back, each year has brought us new adventures, a bit more laughter, and plenty of stories we’ll never forget. We can’t wait for the next chapter — starting with celebrating our wedding day with all of you.
See you there! xx
The Venue
The Gardens
We are delighted to announce that we will be getting married at The Gardens, an enchanting, rustic country garden, with the most beautiful views, and endless photo opportunities.
We fell in love with the venue from the moment we arrived at our viewing. Ash stood at the end of the aisle and from that moment on, we couldn’t imagine having our wedding held anywhere else.
We look forward to seeing you there!

bride
Lauren Green
You can thank this woman for the entire wedding day setup. Planning started at the age of 8, and if you have any complaints, keep them to yourself.
Groom
Ashley Stubbington
If you see this man teeing off on the golf course on the 20th July, be sure to get his ass home and remind him of where the wedding venue is. He was never gonna make that birdie anyway.
Bridesmaid
Lauren Carter
Not even living 11,000 miles away in New Zealand, would stop this girl from missing her best friend’s wedding…
Truth is, she’s only back for the sun.
BRIDESMAID
Samantha Green
Sammie is the protective big sister and will have no shame in pouring a glass of red wine over any guest that wishes to make the day, at all stressful, for the bride or groom.
BRIDESMAID
Alicia Stubbington
If you’re old or vulnerable and need some assistance on the day, don’t be afraid to wave down the super nurse. Or as I like to call her, the “First Aid Bridesmaid!”
FLOWER GIRLS
Mia & Millie Green
Our nieces represent life itself. Mia is the reminder of all the joy that life can bring. While Millz likes to remind us that life is sometimes just smelly bums and twerking in people’s faces.
BEST MAN
Spencer Smeed
The Groom’s ride or die from the school playground back in 2000. Also, if you hear a loud laugh, it’s probably Spence.
brother of the bride
Sam Green
The man responsible for 90% of the bride’s childhood injuries, after one too many WWE set-ups in our living room. Older by 7 years, wiser by minus 6 years.
GROOMSMAN
Jordan Stubbington
This guy has read many a book, can hold an intellectual conversation, but has yet to overcome his anger when playing board games.
groomsman
Ben Jewiss
A guy’s best mate and the best Window Fitter in the South East.
Sponsored by Amazing Glazing.
GROOMSMAN
Liam Banbury
A man with a great beard, a shiny head, and an amazing story about a Cabbage!
Be sure to ask him.
Mother of the bride
Jacqui Lalley
No one has been on more holidays than this woman. Europe? Done it. Disney? Completed it. Cruises? Probably on one as we speak.
Mother of the groom
Alison Stubbington
The calmest woman in every situation, unless Mark decides to bust out Julio Iglesias on the Alexa.
father of the groom
Mark Stubbington
If you speak Spanish, you’ll be this guy’s best friend. Su español es perfecto… si hablamos de cerveza y tapas.
Guest Attire
Strictly Formal
What Should I Wear?
We’d love our guests to embrace a soft, romantic look by wearing either pastels or earthy tones, which will complement the gorgeous garden setting and create the elegant atmosphere we’re hoping for.
Colours to Avoid!
To help our wedding party stand out, we kindly ask that guests avoid wearing taupe and light beige. And for the ladies, we kindly ask you to avoid wearing white (for obvious reasons). This will keep those shades special for the bridal party while still leaving plenty of beautiful colour options for you to choose from.
