Caroline and Nick's intimate wedding at Leeds Civic Hall.

Not every wedding needs a big fuss. For Caroline and Nick, all they really needed was each other—and a quiet corner of Leeds to make it official. After 24 years together it was as Caroline put it, time to tie all the loose ends up. 

On a bright Yorkshire Tuesday afternoon, with the golden owls of Leeds Civic Hall watching over them, Caroline and Nick slipped away from the noise of everyday life and into something just for them. No crowds, just the two of them hand in hand, saying “I do” in the most heartfelt, down-to-earth way you can imagine.

There’s something incredibly special about a secret wedding. No pressure, no performance. Just pure emotion and the kind of connection that doesn’t need an audience. 

Inside the Civic Hall—one of Leeds’ most iconic buildings, with its grand pillars and golden accents—they made their promises to each other in a room that felt like it belonged just to them for that moment. It was short, sweet, and perfect.

Afterwards, with a celebratory wave, they went outside into Millennium Square, still quiet before the rush hour crowd arrived. They laughed, kissed, hugged, and had a quick wander to the rear of Leeds Civic Hall to have some confetti fun, thrown by their two witnesses. 

It was an honour to play a part in Caroline's & Nick's special day. No fanfare, no formalities—just two brilliant people choosing love in a city that means something to them.

So here’s to Caroline and Nick. For reminding us that sometimes the simplest weddings are the most beautiful of all. Just the two of them, and a lifetime ahead.
