HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?

We met through Bumble but had a lot of friends in common so it helped we knew of each other. 🐝

TELL US ABOUT THE PROPOSAL

 Ben proposed in December 2021. We had decided to take a trip to Tollymore Forest for a walk. By the stepping stones I turned around and had the shock of my life as he was down on one knee! Very romantic, and then he had secretly booked a stay at our favourite place, Galgorm to celebrate!

HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON YOUR WEDDING VENUE?

I have always loved Galgorm and having been at some weddings there I loved how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was and how attentive the staff were. Plus the thought of having a spa day the next day to recover was hard to beat! We visited a few venues but really nothing came close! We booked it two weeks after we got engaged and didn’t look back!

WHAT CAKE FLAVOURS DID YOU CHOOSE AND DID YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE?

We chose lemon, raspberry and white chocolate and chocolate Guinness. No surprises who picked the Guinness flavour! Lemon cake has always been my (Katie) favourite flavour, our parents love raspberry and white chocolate and then the chocolate Guinness was a nod to Bens favourite alcoholic drink, as well as tasting unbelievable!! We are still dreaming about the flavours!

ANY TIPS FOR FUTURE COUPLES?

I know everyone says it but on the day try to take time to take it all in, it’s so true when people tell you how quickly the day goes!! I think spreadsheets are also your best friend when planning a wedding and keeping one up to date on the run up really helped us with budget management and prioritising what needed done! Enjoy every moment, we wish we could do it all again!
