The Proposal:
Russell proposed on Christmas Eve, surrounded by family. He gifted me with a star named after us and then went right into the proposal!
Choosing a venue:
We knew we wanted a large venue with lots of space and good food! We loved the tall ceilings at The Carrick House and Lundy’s food is delicious so it was the perfect venue for us!
Important elements:
The ceremony was the most important as our faith is core to who we are! It was also really important to us to be surrounded by family and we wanted our day to be a true celebration – A PARTY!
What advice would you give to other couples:
It is your day! Do not cater to others. Don’t stress about the small things!
