One fine day Chloe and Manu’s day followed a pretty pastel colour theme Images courtesy of Maxi Photography C hloe and Manu met in Munich while she was travelling around Europe with a friend. “We got talking and realised that we were both interested in the same things,” Chloe tells us. “He showed us around the city and took us out for a traditional German dinner. A week later, he travelled to Prague to meet me for a day and our relationship blossomed from there.” The couple became engaged a year later when Manu proposed on Chloe’s birthday. “We passed a ring shop in the morning where I pointed out a style that I liked in the window,” Chloe says. “Later on, he snuck out to buy it! He proposed on a bridge on the walk home and two guys sat on a nearby bench cheered us on!” The couple chose Rockbeare Manor as their wedding venue with its close proximity to Exeter Airport for Manu’s German relatives to fly in. Here, Chloe tells us all about their special day. Chloe and Manuel (Manu) Butzke married on 31 st May 2021 at Rockbeare Manor near Exeter in Devon. REAL WEDDINGS 43
