Cherrywood Podcast

After filming and photographing hundreds of weddings, Simon and Rachel have seen the good, the bad and the downright awkward!In this Cherrywood Podcast episode, we give our honest opinions on wedding etiquette, including children at weddings, unexpected plus-ones, family arguments, dress codes, painfully long speeches and guests posting photos before the evening reception has even started.Should parents leave their children at home? Should a bridesmaid’s new partner automatically get an invitation? Can divorced parents behave themselves for one day? And is it ever acceptable to turn up at a wedding wearing jeans and a T-shirt?These are only our opinions, so let us know what you think in the comments. Do you agree with us—or are we being too harsh?Visit Cherrywood Productions:https://www.cherrywoodpro.com/Please like the video, subscribe and click the notification bell for more episodes of the Cherrywood Podcast.

We sit down with Simon Cook (MidKent College) and Simon Ryan (Willmott Dixon) to unpack what Pride in Medway is really about: recognising the everyday heroes who quietly make a difference across our communities. We talk sponsorship, community legacy, why nominations matter more than popularity, and how Medway’s best stories often go untold.Vote/nominate here: prideinmedway.co.uk#Medway #Community #AwardsTimestamps0:00 Welcome + like/share/subscribe0:14 Episode intro: Pride in Medway + “three Simons”2:01 What Pride in Medway is (and what it isn’t)3:05 Why MidKent College supports Pride in Medway5:45 Students, skills, and community involvement6:46 The college theatre, visibility, and “I never knew you did that”7:02 Sponsor messages8:20 Community assets: why venues like this matter11:02 Pride, perception, and focusing on the positives12:05 Simon Cook’s chef background + the “coffee stain” analogy13:12 Apprenticeships, routes into careers, and long-term work stories15:59 Different learning styles + school vs college pressures17:24 The 11+ filter, GCSE anxiety, and focusing on the person20:39 Pride in Medway winners: everyday acts, all walks of life22:30 Filming the awards: emotional stories and perspective25:01 Willmott Dixon intro: building + lasting community legacy26:36 Hiring locally + T-level students + project impact27:44 Leisure centre nostalgia and “verruca sock” memories29:12 Flume testing + GoPro promo idea30:11 Wellbeing, environment, and health beyond the NHS31:01 Community legacy examples (Dartford trail, hospital donation)33:24 More businesses stepping up + Medway’s post-dockyard identity38:42 This year’s sponsors list (read-out)39:32 Hidden local infrastructure + Medway pride-by-association42:18 Who should be nominated + what makes a standout candidate47:08 Authenticity, nominations, and young people breaking stereotypes48:36 Judging: why it’s so hard to pick a winner51:25 Raising awareness: not a popularity contest53:34 More storytelling: interview nominees and nominators56:01 How businesses can get involved (big or small)56:55 One word for Medway spirit: “energetic” / “positivity”58:21 Medway pride: Jubilee clips, history, and local identity59:35 Fun question cards segment begins1:00:17 Strangest thing: balcony lock-out in America1:01:47 Ghost question + warning label question1:06:17 Closing thanks + “Simons” chat1:10:41 Company shout-outs + how to vote/nominate1:11:30 Sponsor outro + Cherrywood + othersWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

This episode starts like any other Cherrywood Podcast — casual chat, catching up, and a bit of chaos — until it becomes clear that Simon has something serious to say. What follows is an unscripted, funny, and very real conversation as he finally tells Rachel about a decision he’s been sitting on for a while.There’s disbelief, sarcasm, genuine concern, laughter, and eventual support — all before the conversation naturally drifts into Austin, Texas film awards, family life, future plans, and what’s coming next for Cherrywood. If you like honest conversations, big reveals, and watching reactions unfold in real time, this one’s for you.Podcast sponsors:De Medici Associates – Chartered Structural & Civil EngineersRight at Home Medway – Safe, trusted care at homeClearwater Kent – Cleaning & facilities management specialistsCherrywood Productions – Award-winning video & photographyHindsight Directory – Local business advertising magazineSnugDubs Campervan Hire – Roam the world, park anywhereClub Awesome – Supporting autistic children and their families#CherrywoodPodcast #CouplesPodcast #BigReveal0:00 Intro & like/share/subscribe0:42 Rachel senses something’s coming3:54 The conversation turns serious5:29 The reveal moment7:11 Rachel’s reaction10:11 Austin, Texas & film awards chat19:20 Round Rock donuts & new connections22:21 Driverless Uber experience23:30 UK Small Business Awards finalist update25:47 Louis Green boxing update28:20 Pride in Medway sponsorship34:02 Family shoutouts36:04 Cherrywood updates & Conspiracy Files40:20 Charity mention: Club Awesome40:28 Sponsor rollCherrywood Podcast, couples podcast, big reveal podcast, marriage conversation, unscripted podcast, family podcast, UK podcast, creative podcast, Austin Texas trip, Texas Short Film Festival, driverless Uber, small business awards, Pride in Medway, Cherrywood Productions, De Medici Associates, Right at Home Medway, Clearwater Kent, Hindsight Directory, SnugDubs Campervan Hire, Club AwesomeWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.
