Despite having to re-plan their big day, Emily and Richard had a gorgeous wedding at Insole Court

Emily and Richard met almost eight years ago during a night out in Cardiff. “We both lived in the same area and have lots of mutual friends,” says Emily. “I had seen him working out in the gym that I used to work at and always thought he was very handsome.”

Richard proposed after six years together. “We had just purchased our first house and were openly discussing marriage,” shares the bride. “He had been out for the day, and little did I know he had travelled to London to collect my engagement ring! I had my head in the fridge preparing dinner, and when I turned around, he was down on one knee. It was perfect, and the ring was incredible!”
