Your North East Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 57)

marriage Ailsa and Scott hosted a wedding to remember at The Parlour at Blagdon Images courtesy of Laura Eddolls Photography Ailsa and Scott met at work. “I was Scott’s manager, with us trying to be serious at work making things tricky at the start,” says the bride. “However, his smile and humour soon drew me to him. We’re also the total opposites: I’m serious, and he isn’t, and I hate mess – and he’s so untidy! It just goes to show that opposites do attract!” Scott popped the question after the couple had been together six years. “We took a trip to Scotland, exploring Loch Fyne and Loch Lomond,” continues Ailsa. “I always said if Scott was ever to propose, not to do it up a hill or mountain, as although I enjoy it I’m partial to moaning about the climb! Of course, he ignored that, finding a hill and having us walk higher and higher. I whinged and whinged until we got to the top, before we sat on a bench and discussed what to do next. Scott asked if I’d enjoyed all the surprises – the locations in Scotland and activities he’d planned. He then said; ‘I have one more surprise’, which was when he got down on one knee. I burst out crying – it was the happiest I’d ever felt and it was so special being just the two of us.” The couple set the date of 18 February, 2023 – Ailsa’s 30th birthday – choosing The Parlour at Blagdon as their venue.
