Your North West Wedding - August/September (Issue 81)

DAY perfect Charly and Mark celebrated their intimate wedding at The Belsfield Hotel Images courtesy of West View Photography Charly and Mark met in Kirkby Lonsdale at a mutual friend’s party. “We were introduced by a friend who thought we would get on,” says Charly. “Mark was a keen rugby player at the time, so for me, the physical attraction was instantly there, he then charmed me with his good humour and quick wit! By the time Mark proposed to me, we had been together for over 11 years, had a mortgage together and a young child, so it wasn’t necessarily a surprise proposal, but I wasn’t expecting it when it happened! We were on a walk at Tarn Hows in the Lake District with our daughter. We stopped to enjoy some lunch while sitting on the edge of the lake, and as we started to think about continuing our walk, Mark got down on one knee and pulled out a box containing a gorgeous ring! It was an immediate yes from me!” Here she shares some of her favourite moments from their big day... OUR 33 REAL WEDDINGS
