Nordic NUPTIALS Ashleigh and David-John’s Viking-themed wedding had an emerald green colour scheme Images courtesy of Emma Beaumont Ashleigh and David-John met in modern fashion on a dating app. “I had always said I would only marry a Viking!” says Ashleigh. “When I added David on social media, he was Viking-strong and bearded, and I was in shock! David said he loved my curly hair and my bottom! Our first date was a hike in Llangollen and we just enjoyed each other’s company and it went from there.” The story then went to Aberdeen (where David-John is from) for Ashleigh’s birthday in April 2023, on the way to their accommodation, DavidJohn said he had to stop to see something, Dunnottar Castle. “It was beautiful with the sea and the views,” says Ashleigh. “Upon looking around I said I’d love a picture with the castle in the background. He asked a lady to take a picture, and she was clearing people out the way which I thought was funny. Then David-John got down on one knee and proposed and I cried. It was such a beautiful start to our trip and the best birthday present.” The big date was set 20th September 2024 with Stables Country Club setting the scene.
