Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Mar/Apr 2019 (Issue 73)

A fter getting to know each other as friends first, love blossomed for Emma and Matt Archer when he helped her out with a spot of DIY and her head was turned. “It all started when my dog ate the vinyl flooring at my flat and I asked Matt to help me replace it. As I handed him a pizza cutter to trim the edges, I started to realise I kind of liked him! He was absolutely immune to my flirting though, until we went for an evening out and we hit it off as we were walking home together,” reveals Emma. Matt popped the question on a visit to their favourite city Cardiff, taking Emma completely off guard. “I didn’t have a clue what he was going to do, I actually thought he was teasing when he proposed,” she recalls. They tied the knot at The Kings Arms, Christchurch on 27 th July, 2018. Read on for Emma’s account of their big day...
