Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 72)

We had a big surprise planned for the evening. During my bouquet throw countdown, I stopped, turned and walked over to Gavin’s brother’s girlfriend. I handed her the bouquet and spun her around to see Gavin’s brother waiting on one knee with a ring! The room erupted and thankfully she said, “Yes”! We had a DJ in the evening along with a photo booth with props and guests received their printed photos there and then. We received a USB with them all on to view when we got home. It was a big hit and was great for us to see all of the snaps. Gavin presented me with a beautiful necklace at the end of his speech, which I wasn’t expecting. I haven’t taken it off since.
