Chelsea and Huw tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at Llanerch Vineyard

Chelsea and Huw met in the most unexpected way. “We were in Tesco car park when he accidentally knocked my wing mirror while reversing out of the space next to me,” says Chelsea. “He waited until I returned to my car to make sure there was no damage. For his sake, luckily there wasn’t, but he gave me his number just in case, and the rest is history.”

Huw proposed on his birthday in 2019. “We went to Edinburgh on a midweek break to celebrate as Huw is a huge scotch and whisky lover,” shares the bride. “He managed to hide the ring in a pair of socks in his hand luggage. On the second day, we had a tour of Edinburgh Castle booked and while we were at the very top, enjoying the view, he tried to get down on one knee. As I’m quite shy I asked him to get up as there was a huge group of students passing by! Two minutes later, the castle cannon was fired, and it felt as though it was meant for us. I was sort of expecting a proposal but never thought he would do it on his birthday! He told me I was the best birthday present he could have ever wished for.”

Welsh Seaside town with three beaches and dolphin sightings named best in Britain

Welsh Seaside town with three beaches and dolphin sightings named best in Britain

A Welsh seaside town has been named the best in Britain after a current UK coastal guide placed it first, with three contrasting beaches and regular dolphin activity among its biggest draws. Travel specialists at Ski Vertigo (https://skivertigo.co.uk/) have reviewed what the result means for anyone planning a British coastal break. The town is New Quay in Ceredigion, which took the number one position in Holiday Cars' current guide to the 20 best coastal towns in the UK. The recognition is a guide ranking rather than an official national tourism award, but it puts the Cardigan Bay town ahead of better-known coastal names.
