How did you first meet?
It was an Instagram love story! I came across Laura’s page from mutual friends and messaged her. A few weeks later we met at Bristol pride and have been inseparable ever since!!
How did you propose?
I had planned to propose to Laura for a while but due to covid restrictions I couldn’t find the right moment! I finally plucked up the courage on new years eve in Cardiff surrounded by Christmas lights!
Where did you get married?
Sant Ffraed House
What attracted you to the venue?
We fell in love with the venue at first glance. The decor was stunning and the future plans for the k room was everything we were looking for and more. We wanted somewhere modern and stylish where all of our family could stay on site together to celebrate our big day!
What was your first dance song?
Amen from John Adams.
What was your wedding theme?
We are black lovers so we went for black and white – black bridesmaid dresses and black tie! It was Halloween so the black theme was perfect! We had the white rose signature look decor which matched our white rose bouquets.
What stationary did you have?
We had a table plan, table numbers and a welcome sign which we designed ourselves . We had a photo guest book so that we could look back at photos as well as messages from our guests.
What did you wear?
My dress was sherwood crepe with a deep illusion v neck and a deep v-back. It had Tank straps with buttons trailing all the way down the centre of the train.
Lauras dress was ivory crepe with a plunging v neckline, beaded spaghetti straps and a sheer bodice with exposed boning with lace detail . It had a low back with sequins and buttons down a long train which had scalloped lace detail to add a hint of vintage.
In the evening we both decided to dress into something we felt more comfortable in which was a black bow tie with waistcoat and trousers.
What advice do you have for others?
Take in every moment , the day flies so make sure you take a couple of moments throughout the day to yourself as a married couple to appreciate your perfect day! And don’t worry about how the day will plan out, the staff at Sant Ffraed House were amazing and took care of the whole day ensuring we were happy throughout!
