"A Second Home": Evangelina and David Flynn Marry at Baddow Park House

CHELMSFORD, U.K. - Aug. 27, 2026 - PRLog -- Evangelina and David Flynn were married at Baddow Park House on 7th March 2026, in front of family and friends who had watched their story unfold since the pair first met at their first job together in St Albans.

David proposed to Evangelina at home on Christmas Day 2024, with just the two of them present. The venue was chosen without any hesitation. Evangelina had visited Baddow Park House a few years earlier on a photo shoot and never forgot it. "As soon as we got engaged, I said that we had to go and look around," she said. "Everything about it made it feel like a home away from home."

The couple chose March deliberately, hoping for cool weather rather than heat, and got exactly what they wanted — cloudy, with no rain. Evangelina wore a Maggie Sottero gown from Grace and Lace in Chelmsford with Carvela shoes, carrying white roses and white hydrangeas by The Orchid Rooms. Sewn into the inside of her dress was a small piece of her mother's wedding dress, a tradition shared by all her sisters. David and his groomsmen wore green and grey from The Grooms Room in Colchester.

Guests sat at tables named after the couple's ages, each one holding photographs of Evangelina and David at that age, with names engraved on gold place settings. AB Bakery supplied a two-tier cake — one layer of Victoria sponge and one of lemon drizzle — and the couple took to the floor to "Latch" by Sam Smith, with music from GO2 Entertainment.

Asked what they remember most, the couple pointed to the people rather than the details. "We remember how helpful the staff were and how nice it was to see everyone we cared about in one room," they said. "Baddow Park quickly became a second home for us. Everyone was so caring and kind from the very start. Nothing was ever too much."

Their advice to couples planning their day is simple. "Enjoy every minute of it. Take time to stop and look around at what is happening, and take time together."
