Riding off into the sunset to start a new life together
HAPPY couple Jessica Bazzard and Jason Ollivier enjoyed their special day by riding on horseback through Little Missenden.
The horse-lovers were married at Little Missenden Church on July 25 and made a special entrance to their wedding reception on the animals which brought them together.
The new Mrs Ollivier, 32, a promotions manager who is orginally from the picturesque south Bucks village, and Mr Ollivier, 35, a business director, of Solihull, met three and a half years ago at West Wycombe Polo Club, where they both play the sport.
Their special day reminded them of their connection as they walked out of the church under polo sticks the congregation were holding and guests wished them luck with presents of horse shoes. Mrs Ollivier rode a horse she had bred called Peanuts in side-saddle, while Mr Ollivier trotted on Argentinian horse Chukki.
Mrs Ollivier said: "It was all horse-themed, I've just always wanted to do it like this since I was a little girl. People came out of their houses and were lined up in the village when we rode through."
They held their wedding reception at nearby Kennel Farm, owned by the bride's family. The guests were treated to a brass band and an Argentine Assado, which involved three of the farm's sheep being cooked over hot coals and basted with salt.
