How did you two meet?
We officially met years about 10 years ago at a gym we both attended but we didn’t really talk to each other much. Then in 2019, we matched on Tinder and things went from there
What about the proposal, how did it go?
Dave proposed to me at our daughter’s christening in front of all our friends and family. It was totally unexpected and I thought we were just all doing a toast to our daughters special day until he got down on one knee
Tell us about your venue.
We got married at Hemswell Court. I have attended here a few times previously for weddings so I knew I loved it already. Dave is also ex army and Hemswell Court was a former Officers Mess which was used in the Dambusters movie so Dave liked it for that reason. It is such a beautiful venue with amazing staff. When we went to view it, I knew it was the one.
What was your wedding style/inspo?
My wedding style was elegant romantic. Nearly all of the decor was white with a few hints of emerald green which was my bridesmaid colour.
Tell us about your dress!
My Elysee Etoile wedding dress was just what I imagined I wanted fitted, lace detailing, with sleeves and a beautiful back detail. My dress was originally sleeveless so the sleeves were added just how I wanted and looked amazing. The back of the dress was also altered slightly so that the lace detail framed my back tattoo nicely. I then had a cathedral veil which finished the dress off perfectly.
What was your favourite part of your wedding day?
My favourite part of the day was of course, getting married to my husband. BUT, I loved the evening do. Just dancing away with all of our family and friends and having a good time was the best!!!
Any changes? (Things you wish you’d done or wish you hadn’t!)
I wouldn’t change anything about our day. I loved every minute of it and I wish we could do it all again!!
Any tips for brides to be?
Top tips: Just enjoy the day and soak it all up as It goes by so quickly.
