Elliott noticed that Kayleigh was quite shy, as she’d hide behind the sleeve of her jumper so that he would copy her and make her laugh. So, he decided to reach out via Twitter. Six years flew by and Elliott decided he wanted to ask Kayleigh to marry him. He took her to Paignton Beach, which is a place that means a lot to her as her late nan would often take her there for days out. The proposal was a huge surprise for Kayleigh, although she had wondered why Elliott was so keen to go to the beach at 10am and had to make a last-minute dash to buy a beach mat! Beautiful venue Hornsbury Mill caught the couple’s eye, as a remote location was just the ticket for them. “As soon as we drove up the gravel drive and saw peacocks roaming around, we knew it was the one,” Kayleigh says. “Then to see the watermill in action just sold it to us even more!” The date was set for a beautiful springtime wedding on 20th May, 2023.
