Ship shape Cruise ship singers Cameron and Craig enjoyed an amazing day at Brentwood’s Friern Manor Images courtesy of Boutique Weddings Cameron and Craig met while performing as cruise ship singers. “We’re total opposites, but this is why we love each other so much!” says Cameron. “I’m very particular and know exactly what I want, whereas Craig loves performing and enjoying life. After seeing each other pretty much 24/7 for almost a year, we knew that if we could survive cruise ships without killing each other then we could definitely make it on dry land!” When it came to popping the question, Cameron secretly asked Craig’s dad for permission while on a family cruise. “It was a huge surprise, as it was the first time we’d met!” continues Cameron. “After our ship contracts ended, we drove from New Orleans, where the liner docked, to Ohio, where I’m from, so Craig could meet my own friends and family. With the Tiffany engagement ring burning a hole in my pocket for the 12-hour drive, I took Craig to Cincinnati’s Skystar Observation Ferris Wheel so he could get a good view of the city. Knowing it only went around three times before ending, it gave me one rotation to build up the courage, one rotation to pop the question – and one rotation to celebrate if Craig gave me the right answer!” Proposing to Craig with Savage Garden’s Truly Madly Deeply on his phone speaker – “we said if we ever got married it would be our first dance,” remembers Cameron – Craig said, “Yes!”, before they headed to a restaurant for a celebratory drink. The couple chose the 21st July, 2021 for their wedding, saying ‘I do’ at Brentwood’s Friern Manor. Here, Cameron tells us all about their big day… 43 REAL WEDDINGS
