“I was grinning from ear to ear as we left the concert, thinking we were heading home to normality. But, Joel is always full of surprises! He took me to a hotel and booked us in for the night. As I was admiring the room, I turned around to see him down on one knee! I don\u2019t think I could see anything from the tears and left him down there for longer than he expected but I eventually said yes! We celebrated with chocolate and champagne!\u201d<\/p>\n

We both love music so we had a singer for the ceremony and both a band and DJ for the evening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur photographers Russell and Hope of Prestige Photography<\/a> were both amazing, nothing was too much to ask! Hope helped me into my dress with my mum on the morning and had so many ideas of different images to capture with the bridesmaids. They are both so talented! We still can\u2019t stop looking at the pictures now!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe were lucky to have beautiful weather on the day, which meant that the hotel gardens came into their own. The guests and ourselves were impressed with how stunning the whole venue looked and we took advantage of the outdoor seating areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
