Ok so how we met: We met when we were 14 years old at one of my nan and pops family BBQ’s. We started dating at 15.
Our proposal: I came home from work on Friday to an empty suitcase on the bed with a note saying ‘pack your bags I will be home to pick you up in an hour x’
My beautiful Nana had worked tirelessly for almost a year hand making 5 different flavours of jam in over 100 jars which were given to all of our guests as gifts, which were all hand decorated. Our wine box was another important detail. My step father had had made a special box for us to us in a wine ceremony. We both wrote letters to each other about what we think our life will be like in 10 years and how we felt in the days leading up to the wedding. We then chose a bottle of red wine to go in the box and we had our parents’ help seal the box shut with nails which we will open on our 10th wedding anniversary. We also had a handmade wishing well that plays a part in each one of our family weddings. A little plaque is made with the couples names and the date of their special day. So far we are up to wedding number 6.
