Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Jan/Feb 2020 (Issue 78)

46 G eorgia and Joe met at school but didn’t start dating until after they left and were both in their late teens. Georgia was attracted to Joe because, “He made me laugh and was confident and very persistent!” Joe says he fell for her because, “ She was gorgeous, had a great sense of humour and kept me on my toes.” Joe proposed on February 20 th , 2017 while they were on holiday in the Maldives. “We had dinner and then he took me for a walk along a private beach, we’d only gone a short way before he popped the question! It was a complete surprise and the perfect place for a proposal,” adds Georgia. Read on for her account of their big day... As I’m super fussy I had an ivory bespoke wedding dress made for me! I chose a fit and flare style with a heavily embellished corset and a cathedral-length veil. The main focus of our ivory colour scheme were the beautiful blossom trees. We had them lining the aisle for the ceremony with two large ones at the end and ivory rose petals scattered around. We fell in love with Milton Abbey from the moment we saw it.
