Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 20)

M elissa and Sean met at school where they found they had similar interests and goals from a young age. “We hit it off from there and Sean’s great sense of humour certainly helped,” Melissa tells us. Sean proposed on holiday in Orlando, Florida, in August 2016. “His original plan was to propose on the Hogwart’s Express at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter because I’m a big fan,” Melissa explains. “However, there were too many people around so he had another plan, which was to ask me to marry him on a quiet beach near our hotel, with the lights in Orlando as a backdrop.” Here, Melissa tells us more about their dream day at the stylish Rockbeare Manor… IN TO THE BLUE Melissa and Sean’s big day took place at the stylish Rockbeare Manor Images courtesy of Louise May Photography Melissa Carpenter married Sean Grange at St James’ Church, Exeter followed by a reception at Rockbeare Manor on 25 th April, 2018.
