We were blown away by the entries. we received so many types of love stories. 

Stories that made us laugh out loud.

Stories that brought us to tears.

Stories that gave us goosebumps.

Stories of first loves, long marriages, second chances, and quiet partnerships built on trust and friendship. Stories shaped by illness, loss, distance, resilience, and joy.

Choosing the winners was no easy task for our owner Kim Hanks.

After careful consideration, we've contacted the couples who will be renewing their vows with us as part of the Love in the Cotswolds competition.

These couples represent the many forms love can take, enduring, evolving, imperfect, and profoundly human. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more about each of their journeys and what brought them here.

Each winning couple will enjoy an intimate vow renewal ceremony in a beautifully historic setting, including:

• A 20–30 minute ceremony for up to 30 guests

• A bespoke ceremony script reflecting their journey

• The option to include a handfasting ritual

• Carefully chosen ceremony music

• A celebratory fizz toast in Tyger Bar

• A floral arch and a group photograph

• Full access to professional images from the day

The vow renewal weekend will take place on the 7th and 8th of March 2026, and each ceremony will be as individual as the couple at its heart.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more about each couple - their stories, their milestones, and what love means to them now. We can’t wait to take you along on that journey.

This competition has been a reminder that love isn’t defined by one moment. It’s shaped by time, care, humour, and commitment and it absolutely deserves to be celebrated.

Thank you to everyone who entered, supported, and shared in this experience with us.

We’re so looking forward to what’s to come.
