Rosie is getting married in Holy Trinity Church, Sidcup followed by a reception at The Bulls Head Hotel in Chislehurst. Rosie is having a traditional wedding, with the twist that they are theming the day around their namesake children’s characters: Rosie and Jim.
‘If you're just going take people into a room and say here you go, sit down, then what’s the point? There is no point, just get a wedding planner to sort it out, it's not hard. If you haven't got that creativity just pay someone to do it’
• Rosie’s father is the vicar and will be conducting the service
• 'Rosie and Jim' theme; cartoon figures will be on top of their cake, and ducks and narrow boats will also be featured.
• It’s a ‘Modern summer wedding’ – no hats and a help yourself buffet
• Rosie hates ‘Jordan weddings’
• She hates short ceremonies and non-church weddings
• They’re having a Motown singer
• Surprise singing performance by Soprano Bella who pretends to be guests and waitresses at the wedding before they burst into song

There will be loads of flowers in the church, as well as a string quartet and two sopranos singing during signing of the register. There will be two readings- one religious, one non-religious, then photos outside the church whilst the string quartet play. Coming out to bubbles rather than confetti, and a dove release.
At the reception the food is a big hog roast, the cake is a chocolate wonky wedding cake with Maltesers on top as it’s her favourite chocolate.
‘Our names are Rosie and Jim so we’re having figurines of Rosie and Jim on the top of the cake and wrapping paper decorating the top table’. Rosie and Jim cartoons as table names, the chairs are pink and orange. A friend is singing motown music in the evening, and plugging in the iPod in between. At the last minute they also booked a surprise feature of ‘Soprano Bella’ – singers who pretend to be waiters and guests and spontaneously burst out into song.
