How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?

I met my husband by utter chance at a New Year’s Eve party. We had mutual friends who introduced us that night and we have been inseparable ever since. He proposed whilst we were on holiday in Lindos, Rhodes with friends. Everyone else on the holiday knew he was planning to propose as did my whole family back home and he waited until the last night of the holiday! He booked a restaurant on the water at St Paul’s Bay and as we were walking along the beach to get there he asked if I wanted a picture. I readied myself for the picture, turned round and he was on one knee. I cried for hours afterwards; it was just perfect..

What was your favourite part of the wedding to plan/what were you most looking forward to?

My favourite part of the wedding to plan were the outfits. I wanted the bridesmaids and groomsmen to match but not be too matching. As we were being married in the Algarve I didn’t want anything too formal. 

The open shirts and cream trousers looked divine next to the mix-matched champagne-coloured bridesmaids dresses. I loved watching each element come together and how well they all looked beside my dress and my Husband’s kilt. 
I was most looking forward to the evening meal/drinks. We each chose a signature drink/cocktail to have at our reception (I chose a white wine Sangria and my husband chose a Caipirinha) and our evening meal was Portuguese couvert followed by a hog roast. Again I wanted everything to feel less formal than at home in Scotland, the drinks and meal fitted that vibe. It did not disappoint!
