Our Story
Ben and I met in the middle of covid, in a complete chance encounter on a virtual games night. We often laugh how if one of us has made a single decision differently we wouldn't have met at all, and there would be no wedding to plan! But as always, God orchestrated everything as it should be, and here we are, 2 years later planning our wedding.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story!
Who made the first move? How?
I messaged first and he almost ghosted me!
How did Ben propose?
After a lovely day in Prestatyn, as we were finishing up our ice-creams, Ben decided we should take one more walk along the beach. We ended up sitting on a bench and watching the sun go down, at which point I did think he seemed a little restless. The shock on my face when he pulled out a ring and asked me to marry him! 🤣
The most spontaneous thing we’ve done
Having Ben move from London, in with us in Flint over a weekend 😅
What's your favorite activity together?
We love to go on long drives and sing in the car
Where are you going for your honeymoon?

The wedding and the reception are indoors, but the venue has a lovely rose garden and grass area where kids can blow off some steam during the day if needs be.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Please don't use your phone during the ceremony, not even to take pictures. We will have a photographer and videographer, as well as some disposable cameras so we can get a wide range of pictures from the day, and we will gladly share all of these with you.
