How did you first meet?
We met on the 21stJune 2015. Dan had broken his leg and was hobbling around on his crutches, drinking coffee. I bumped into him at Verdi’s café in Mumbles, Swansea and he invited me to join him. The rest as they say, is history.
How did you propose?
We got engaged on 29th November 2017 in Copenhagen, it was freezing!
I made Jody a puzzle. It was of the different stages of our relationship and life together. I gave the puzzle to Jody in 5 different envelopes, and she had to put the parts together as she opened each envelope. When we put together the 3rd puzzle she realised what was going on.
Where did you get married?
Fairyhill
What attracted you to the venue?
We had looked at a few places. Fairyhill was the first venue we visited. We ended up comparing everything else to it, we knew straight away it was the one.
When we first visited the K room, it was under construction, so we were shown artist rendering and had a VR tour of the room. We looked all across South Wales and nothing else compared.
The K room, where you get married, is a panoramic circular array of windows and is surrounded by greenery. It’s just beautiful.
What was your first dance song?
XO – John Mayer.
What was your wedding theme?
We went for classic, whites and greens. We had a few extra flowers in our arch from Eve Francesca Design. We weren’t expecting it to be that big, we were blown away, it was perfect.
What stationary did you have?
-
What did you wear?
My dress was totally different to what I expected to wear, it was just perfect. I went for a Pronovias dress which was a ivory, classic, ballgown style with details on the side and back and buttons all the way down the back.
What advice do you have for others?
Remember why you’re getting married, your love for each other will always win. Planning can be stressful but try to enjoy it, you’ll never do it again, so go for it!
My worry was about not having the perfect day but it was perfect the way it was, in every sense of the word. It’s definitely a story to tell in days to come!
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Rothwell. We wish you all the joy, love and happiness as you begin your new life together.
