Story
Some people believe in love at first sight, but Georgia believes in love at first mess. She was working behind the bar of the Heath Pub, Cardiff, where she caught sight of Rhys from across the room. He was propped up on a bar stool mindlessly eating nachos whilst watching Wales in the six nations. Little did he know, that at that very moment, he would drop a massive dollop of sour cream all down his chest. He looked up to see Georgia's radiant smile, and quickly realised she was laughing at him. To this date, she hasn't stopped.
Tidbits
Who made the first move? How?
Rhys made the first move (if you can call it that!). Rhys built up a lot of Dutch courage to send Georgia a message on Facebook.
What was your most memorable date?
The first date. Rhys took Georgia to a really fancy restaurant... for a drink before driving her to the nearest Toby Carvery.
What's your favorite activity together?
To be completely honest - EATING.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Undecided as of yet! We would love to go to a tropical island; Maldives, Bora Bora or Bahamas! That would be the dream.
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
Valentine's dinner in the Shelbourne Social in Dublin with copious amounts of alcohol, of course (little did they know Georgia was pregnant at the time!).
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
The first holiday Georgia & Rhys went on was Cape Verde. It was the most amazing trip until Rhys got a seriously bad ear infection and had to suffer through a 6 hour flight!

What will the weather be like?
Welcome to Ireland, all of you out-of-towners! The weather here can be temperamental. During the day, the weather in April should be beautiful, but this is not guaranteed. You're from the UK, you know the drill.

Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be inside the main house/pavillion. This is all weather dependent, of course!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We would rather you see that through your own eyes and not a camera lens!
