Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- Page number 19 - October/November 2021 (Issue 29)

HAPPY Halloween Louise and Karl’s October wedding was decorated with black and gold touches Images courtesy of Lee Hawley Photography L ouise and Karl attended the same primary school but became friends in secondary school. “We had joint interests and friends,” Louise tells us. “We went our separate ways to attend university but after I graduated, I spent a year at home recovering from a long-term illness and Karl visited me every day, even though he was still in his final year.” The couple had spoken about marriage early on in their relationship. “I was adamant that we couldn’t get engaged until we owned our own home,” Louise says. “Karl proposed on the doorstep of our house the day we picked up the keys! I was gobsmacked and so emotional that I closed the door on him! Once I’d calmed down, I insisted he get back down on one knee because I hadn’t had a chance to fully take it in!” Here, Louise tells us about their Halloween-themed wedding.
