Julianne and Shaun met on a dating website. “After talking for a week or two, we arranged our first date,” says Julianne. “We played bowling and had dinner, and Shaun still mocks my poor bowling performance to this day!”
Shaun proposed in front of Edinburgh Castle on their fourth anniversary. “Edinburgh is a city we visit often as a couple, as we find it so magical,” shares the bride. “We ate tapas at a restaurant and Shaun asked if we could walk to the castle to take some pictures, as we had never been there at night. He told me to take a photo of the front door of the castle and little did I know, he was down on one knee behind me. I still have the picture now.”

Verity and Ed met for coffee and instantly hit off. “I thought Ed was very handsome with a lovely, warm personality,” says Verity. “In the first month or so, we were only able to meet up on weekdays as Ed was working night shifts. When Ed had a day off in the week, he would make and bring lunch to my workplace.”
Ed proposed in November 2023 on Whitesands Bay in Gower. “The sun was going down and he was determined that we went to the beach,” shares the bride. “He made me climb over barbed wire fences and stride over long dunes, but when we got there, it was beautiful, with three miles of deserted beach at low tide. With the last light of the day, he got down on one knee and proposed.”
