Your North West Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 60)

A timeles s ROMANCE A ndrea and Darren met online, and their relationship quickly blossomed. “We had a lot of similar interests, including cooking, meals out and holidays,” says Darren. “We had our first date at The Blue Mallard in Burscough Wharf. We hit it off right away, laughed a lot and continue to do so now. We work hard but support each other in everything we do and try to have as much fun as possible.” Darren popped the question in March 2018 at The Grand Canyon. “We had been together for almost four years,” shares the groom. “I wanted to make it a memorable experience, so I booked a helicopter trip followed by a champagne picnic. The proposal was a big surprise, and it was captured on camera by a few of our friends.” Here he shares some of his favourite moments from their big day...
