Our Story
Tell us all about your ‘the beginning!’
We met at work in 2016, became friends, and started dating in 2017. Our first date was at a Pie Shop in hull, Beth paid for her own pie!
When and where did you get engaged?
Andrew bought Beth a trip to the lake district for the two of them, as a Christmas gift, and proposed on a walk up Lough Rigg Hill while there, Andrew planned to propose there as it was the first trip & walk they had done together to years prior to mark 6 months of going out, Andrew gave the trip as a gift for Christmas, to ensure they went over the same dates, as that first trip. Andrew proposed half way up the hill, because he could see a crowd forming at the top, and bottled it!
What style/theme have you chosen for your wedding?
Dusky pink colour, no set theme, just a big get together with all the people most important to us both, to really celebrate & enjoy the day.
