Influenced by their passion for history, Caryl and John tied the knot at the grand Craig Y Nos Castle

Caryl and John met during a night out in Llandeilo. “My friend and I were having a drink when we saw John looking in my direction,” says Caryl. “I was attracted to how tall he was and his cheeky smile. We got talking, and things progressed from there.”

John popped the question during a getaway in March 2017. “We wanted to go somewhere that had a mixture of city and nature, so we chose Sheffield,” explains the bride. “We took a car trip to the Peak District, visiting the blue vein caves and finishing with a tour of Hardwick Hall. John got down on one knee in the gardens only to see me walking away, taking photos on my phone. He waited for me to finish and tried again, but I was too engrossed in getting the perfect shot! Finally, on the third attempt, I turned around to see him on one knee holding a ring. It was a big surprise, and we couldn’t have been happier.”

Expert says prenups aren't just for the rich and famous

Legal experts at Richard Nelson LLP are urging Brits to rethink who prenups are really for. While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.
