How did you first meet?
Gareth and I are from the same hometown, Brecon. We met on a night out.
How did you propose?
In New York. It was Gareth’s 30th birthday. We went to the top of the Rock; I didn’t expect it at all!
Where did you get married?
Fairyhill by Oldwalls
What attracted you to the venue?
We first visited the venue in December. The fires were all lit, the Christmas decorations were up, and we just fell in love with the cosiness of Fairyhill.
When we walked into the K room, it was set up ready for a wedding breakfast and that did it for us.
What was your first dance song?
Lucas Graham Love Someone
What was your wedding theme?
Simplicity. Whites and Greens.
What stationary did you have?
We had the order of the day, a table plan, table names which were silver wooden place names people could take home
For the favours we had pocket scratch cards saying ‘we’ve tied the knot, we hope you hit the jackpot’
What did you wear?
I tried on quite a few dresses from different dress shops before I chose the one. I’d seen it online and I just knew that was the dress I wanted to try. It was an A-line gown and I had off the shoulder lace straps added to it. I had it tailored to suit me, so it was a one-off dress.
What advice do you have for others?
Try and make the most of the day as it goes so fast. Take it all in and enjoy the moment. Try not to worry about everyone else, they’ll be having a good time.
I wish Gareth and I spent more moments together, taking ourselves to one side, and having time to reflect on the day.
