Your Kent Wedding - Page number 41 - November/December 2021 (Issue 99)

JUST THE two of us Daisy and Keith shared a wonderfully intimate wedding day at Westenhanger Castle Images courtesy of Fleur Challis Photography D issatisfied with her singledom Daisy’s friends got hold of her phone one evening and signed her up for Tinder, before liking everyone on there. Fortunately, what could have gone so wrong, ended up so right when she came across Keith’s profile while deleting her matches. The two sent a few initial messages back and forth, and then agreed to meet up at a local wine bar – they’ve never looked back. Daisy says, “We couldn’t stop talking! I loved his Irish accent, sense of humour and blue eyes. He loved my confidence and creative side.” While the duo had planned to go to Hever Hotel for the weekend of their fourth anniversary, the pandemic had other ideas. Instead Keith decorated the kitchen with candles and laid the table for a delicious three-course meal, which he prepared with his own fair hands. They spent a perfect evening celebrating this milestone in their relationship, as they chatted, listened to music and reminisced about their years together so far. “It was time for dessert and Keith asked me to close my eyes. When I opened them I saw a jewellery box surrounded by chocolates, which I thought was an anniversary gift. Much to my surprise, it was an engagement ring.” The groom-to-be got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, Daisy accepted through tears of joy. The pair dreamed of an intimate wedding day and discovered Kent-based company, E-lope who specialise in such a thing. They fell in love with the idea of tying the knot al fresco, beneath Westenhanger Castle’s thatched gazebo; and while the occasion was tinged with regret that Keith’s family wouldn’t be able to make the trip from Ireland due to Covid, they still wanted the day to be super-special. Our jaws hit the floor when we first saw these images, so we hope you’ll join us as bride Daisy tells us more about their oh-so romantic big day – 14 th April, 2021... REAL WEDDINGS 41 41
