When it came to choosing the location for the first of their two wedding ceremonies, there was only one place in mind for stylish Made in Chelsea stars Maeva D’Ascanio and James Taylor.

“It’s a part of us – that’s where it all started,” says Maeva, 31, of their intimate ceremony, which took place last week at Chelsea Old Town Hall in front of 20 of their closest friends and family.

It’s the same upmarket area of West London where they found fame, and it’s also the place where they fell in love, in a relationship captured on camera for the hit TV series. A starring role at the ceremony went to their 11-month-old son Beau, whom they welcomed at the end of November last year.

Dispensing with tradition, the bride and groom entered the ceremony together, holding their precious son. As they share beautiful images from their big day exclusively with HELLO!, Maeva tells us: “Seeing our families being so emotional while we were walking down the aisle, and having Beau with us, was very special. The ceremony was quick but intense and beautiful.”

BACK WHERE IT BEGAN

Their choice of location – which was also where former Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo married earlier this year – was deliberate. “We did say to each other that, in a way, it was actually a good thing to pick that registry office as we did meet in Chelsea,” Maeva says.
