From Pontefract, UK — A Family Travels to Make It Official
On August 10, 2026, Lizzy and Karl traveled from Pontefract in West Yorkshire, UK to The Little Wedding Chapel of Love in Eustis, Florida — and they did not come as just a couple. They came as a family. Sons Zack and Blake were right there with them, present not as guests but as participants, as witnesses, and as the living proof of the love that Lizzy and Karl have already built together.
Their wedding day was not the beginning of their family — it was the celebration of one already thriving. A day that said: this is us, this is what we have made together, and today we are marking it with joy, laughter, and the kind of love that carries everyone forward.
From the First Mile to Forever — Riding in Style
“Loved being part of this very special day ~ creating a meaningful and memorable ceremony for the entire family. So much joy, laughter and love. From the first mile to forever, riding in style! Congratulations Lizzy, Karl, Zack and Blake.” — Lynn Bodell
Lynn Bodell’s words capture the spirit of August 10 perfectly. From the first mile to forever — it is a phrase that speaks of a journey already underway, of a couple who did not wait for a wedding day to start building something real, and who arrived at the chapel with miles of shared life already behind them and a lifetime of road still ahead.
Riding in style. Those three words carry the personality of the day — a family that does things with flair, with joy, and with their own unmistakable character. Lizzy and Karl’s wedding was not just a ceremony. It was a celebration of who they are, delivered in a way that was entirely, wonderfully theirs.
Zack and Blake — Right at the Heart of It
One of the most moving elements of Lizzy and Karl’s wedding was the central role that Zack and Blake played throughout. In the photographs, they are everywhere — and that is exactly as it should be. Standing with the family before the ceremony, watching their parents exchange vows, present for the kiss that sealed the promises made, relaxed and at ease in the outdoor portraits that followed.
A wedding that includes children in this way carries a particular kind of warmth. Zack and Blake were not witnesses to something happening around them — they were part of it. Their presence made the ceremony what it was: not just a union of two people, but the celebration of a whole family stepping forward together.
Lynn’s congratulations addressed to all four of them — Lizzy, Karl, Zack, and Blake — reflects exactly that. This was their day. All of them.
A Meaningful and Memorable Ceremony
The ceremony at The Little Wedding Chapel of Love was crafted by Lynn Bodell to honor the fullness of what Lizzy and Karl were celebrating. A meaningful and memorable ceremony for the entire family — those were Lynn’s words, and they were felt in every moment of the day.
The Little Wedding Chapel, with its beautiful golden organ pipes, its warm interior light, and its intimate scale, provided a setting that made every word spoken feel significant. Lizzy and Karl’s vows were made in a space that holds the weight of what is said within it — where the laughter of Zack and Blake, the joy on Lynn’s face, and the love between the couple at the altar all combined into something that those present will carry with them for years.
So much joy, laughter and love. Lynn said it — and the photographs prove it.
The Little Wedding Chapel — Perfect for Family Ceremonies
Lizzy and Karl’s wedding is a wonderful example of what The Little Wedding Chapel of Love does so beautifully for families. It is a venue that understands that love does not exist in a vacuum — that it grows within families, is shaped by children, and is deepened by every shared mile traveled together.
The chapel’s intimacy makes it ideal for ceremonies where children are included as full participants. There is no sense of a stage to perform on — only a warm, welcoming space where everyone present feels part of what is happening. For Zack and Blake, being at their parents’ wedding at The Little Wedding Chapel was not a formal occasion to sit still for — it was a family day, full of laughter and love, in a place that made them feel entirely at home.
