While attending a garden trade show Mark held the door open for a beautiful blonde, who thanked him with a “hello”. Quickly he realised the girl was a familiar face and one that he was instantly struck by. They both talked about old times and about how they were both training for big running events and just happened to be single.
Louise was talking about weddings and where and when, not if…. even sending Mark pictures of her and his Dad watching the “The Wedding Planner”. Mark knew then it was just about finding the right time and excuse to ask. His opportunity came at Christmas 2015 when he bought Louise a Swedish flag, some fake ice cubes and a porcelain hotel….they were off to the Ice Hotel in Sweden from the 25th February.
When there he knew Louise expected a proposal every night and morning..…he made her sweat, or freeze, until the morning after a night in an ice room. It was then it happened, whilst asking what “this is?” in the floor forcing Louise to get out of bed (even though she didn’t want too…). The fake diamond worked a treat and they were off and 7 bridesmaids, 2 Paige boys and 1 Batman later they arrived at Polhawn Fort for a day to remember.
” We had the pleasure of some very special friends and family to come and help on the Friday.”
I wish we spent some more time on taking pictures.
