Sara and Ibrahim had a beautiful celebration at Gileston Manor Estate

Sara and Ibrahim met when they were just 18. "We were both working at Boots at the weekends before we headed off to university," says Sara. "Ibrahim proposed on the 8th June, 2019 during a walk on Southerndown Beach. The sun was setting when he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife."
