We were married on 5th November 2020 in the famous Gretna Hall Hotel, Gretna Green, Scotland. We met inside a local pub whenever we were both out with friends. Kevin proposed to me whenever we were aboard a ferry going to France for any family holiday and also the ring she proposed with would be a ring that accustomed to belong to my Great, Great Aunt – to ensure that was special in my experience.

In the eventually get to the wedding we visited a marriage fair at Venue Cymru, Llandudno for inspiration and ideas.

In my thoughts, I thought I knew precisely what sort of wedding gown I wanted, but my actual dress was nothing beats I had originally planned. I only visited 2 bridal shops, but I tried plenty of dresses on along the way. I wound up choosing the FeelTimes dress at www.feeltimes.com. It is a simple chiffon and satin gown which drapes – think Grecian in fashion, having a classic v neckline and shimmering satin belt with diamante beading. It is a simple, yet classic and stylish gown which won't age in my thoughts as it is very traditional.

I accessorized the gown having a simple and chic gold and diamond effect headband, gold and diamond jewelry (my borrowed), and matching shoes along with a bag (for following the ceremony). My flowers were purple and ivory.

The wedding was a secret and just my parents, our eldest daughter, and my Grandmother (who provided the diamond engagement ring) knew, so planning was difficult enough, then along came COVID! In some methods it hindered as well as in some ways it helped, there have been times when I didn't think it had been going to happen, but we managed to get – just!

The whole day was perfect and just as we wanted so that it is, the funniest bit was remembering we'd masks on!

We got married on which was my now husband's 50th Birthday after which told family and friends following the ceremony. Not even our 7-year-old daughter, who had been bridesmaid, knew until we've got to the venue the nighttime before the marriage. COVID attempted to beat us with lockdowns, change of room, no hair and makeup within the hotel, etc. but we made it happen and it's each day we will never forget!
