RULE THEM ALL One ring to Stacey and Dan chose a Lord of the Rings theme for their big day complemented by autumnal hues Images courtesy of Jamie Ellis Photography Stacey and Dan worked together at Debenhams, but didn’t meet each other properly until after work drinks one evening. Despite not talking much, that night Stacey had a dream about Dan! In the dream she was married to him, and they were late for her best friends’ wedding. “Which, quite frankly, I enjoyed,” Stacey says. She told her best friend about it, who wasted no time in sharing the information with everyone she knew, including Dan! One morning, he found her changing the store’s front window and proposed to her as a joke. Stacey was mortified, but since then it’s been a whirlwind of romance for the two of them and here they are today, married, just as Stacey predicted. “We both make each other laugh, which everyone around us loves, and we enjoy the banter we share. We never argue,” Stacey shares. The couple adore UK mini-breaks and on one particular occasion were off on an adventure in Pembrokeshire. Dan proposed when they visited Tenby for the day. “I had no idea what he was planning, other than the usual picnic – Dan makes a cracking sarnie,” Stacey remembers. So it was, he got down on one knee and popped the question. Dan told her to open a gift, which was a personalised plate from Emma Bridgewater, which read: “Will you marry me, Stacey?” “It was a pretty magical proposal,” she says. Talhenbont Hall had always been top of Stacey’s venue list. The couple both emailed various venues and not many responded, so when they heard back from the team at Talhenbont they were excited! “When we drove up to the Hall and met Paul, I honestly knew straight away,” Stacey shares. “The stunning surroundings are breathtaking and that was so important to Dan as he loves the outdoors.” The two had their hearts set on an autumn wedding due to the spectacular colour changes and Dan being a Lord of the Rings fanatic! Wasting no time, the couple set the date for 19th October 2024. Read on as the bride tells us more... 26
