Real Jewish Brides: Charlotte on Her Almost Wedding Day

26/05/2021 by Smashing The Glass

Charlotte will be marrying Adam in September 2021 at Swynford Manor in Newmarket, UK. Click here to read all Charlotte’s planning posts to date.

THREE FACTS: (1) Adam proposed to Charlotte on holiday in Cyprus (2) Charlotte and Adam met at work in London (3) Charlotte is a member of STG Brides Club!


25th April 2021 was meant to be the day that Adam and I said ‘I Do’ and become husband and wife. Sadly, this day was not meant to be and instead as our almost day came around there was still 140 days to go.

25th April 2021 was not the day either of us expected it to be but, it was a day that we will remember and for all the right reasons. During the build-up to our almost wedding day I had thought about what I want the day to be like. I didn’t want to spend the day having a normal Sunday, doing our normal Sunday routine. I wanted it to be special to us and a day we would remember for something wonderful.

05/05/2021 by Smashing The Glass

Orli will be marrying Ben on 22nd July 2021 in Orli’s parents’ garden, UK. Click here to read all Orli’s planning posts to date.

THREE FACTS: (1) Orli and Ben met on Jswipe. (2) Orli & Ben will marry in an intimate setting in Orli’s parents’ garden (3) Orli is a member of Smashing The Glass’s Brides Club!

A couple of days after I sent off my blog previous post we made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to postpone for the second time and to find what we hope and pray is our final wedding day. After all third time lucky. We met with the caterer and ran through the options that we had with a wedding on the 30 May with the restrictions lifting alongside the roadmap. This would mean we could have 30 people but there would be no dancing and social distancing in place. Whilst we had accepted only being able to have thirty people, we had thought that we would be allowed to dance and to celebrate with our closest 30 people or 28 including us.

Real Jewish Brides: Orli on Her Upcoming Wedding

10/03/2021 by Smashing The Glass

Orli will be marrying Ben on 30th May 2021 at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London, UK. Click here to read all Orli’s planning posts to date.

THREE FACTS: (1) Orli and Ben met on Jswipe. (2) Although their venue, the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, couldn’t be more quintessentially London, Orli and Ben are going for a countryside feel. (3) Orli is a member of Smashing The Glass’s Brides Club!


When we first decided we were going to postpone in June of 2020, we had thought that by our new date 30 May 2021 everything would look normal and we would be able to have our planned wedding with 220 guests. We thought we would be able to get married with all of our family and friends around us and it would be at our original venue St Pancras Renaissance. However, the closer we got to our original date of 6 September 2020, the more we realised that things wouldn’t be back to what we used to think was a ‘normal wedding’. By November, we had postponed our honeymoon to South Africa and I had cancelled my hen.

THREE FACTS: (1) Adam proposed to Charlotte on holiday in Cyprus (2) Charlotte and Adam met at work in London (3) Charlotte is a member of STG Brides Club!

As the clock turned midnight and we started 2021 I looked to Adam and said, we’re getting married this year, hopefully!

Staying home to protect ourselves, our family and our friends we start to think about the next few months and what they’re going to bring. With only 3 months to go until our original Wedding Day we are trying to keep ourselves motivated and keep planning and preparing as much as we can. Whilst we are slowly getting things to do ticked off the list there is a constant nagging thought on both our minds of, but what if we can’t get married on our chosen date?
