Your Yorkshire Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 61)

forever Sadie and Joshua’s friendship soon blossomed in to something more Images courtesy of Photogenick Photography Sadie and Joshua met at nursery aged three. “We went to different primary schools, then a few months before starting high school a friend reintroduced us – and we became best friends pretty much straight away!” says Sadie. “It was a gradual process falling for each other, and it was only when we left sixth form that I realised how much I missed seeing Joshua every day – and that being with your best friend is all you could ever wish for.” Joshua proposed when the couple had been together almost six years. “We were on holiday in New York for Joshua’s birthday,” continues the bride. “We walked to Central Park and Joshua suggested we hire a rowing boat. As we rowed close to Bow Bridge Joshua picked his moment, as there was a saxophonist on the bridge playing Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love. Joshua stood up and got down on one knee with the ring box, and I was so gobsmacked my initial response was much less polite than ‘yes’! I’d secretly searched the house before our holiday and never found a ring – it turns out he’d given it to my best friend the day he bought it, who kept it at her house for four months!” The couple set the date of 30 April, 2022, marrying at St Katherine’s Church and choosing Unique Occasions at Loversall Farm for their reception.
