Gothic romance Jessica and Edward had a fantasy themed wedding at Cardiff Castle Images courtesy of Acronym Photography Jessica and Edward met via the dating app Bumble. “Edward had an incredible photo of himself dressed as a warrior monk, which I thought was a refreshing change from photos of sports cars or tigers,” says Jessica. “I was really late for our first date because my bus broke down on the way. Edward started to worry that I might not turn up, but I ran in the door of the café, and we instantly hit it off.” Edward planned a romantic proposal. “He sneakily suggested a date at the restaurant we went to very early on in our relationship and was the place we shared our first kiss,” shares the bride. “I thought this was a lovely romantic gesture but had no idea what he had planned. I was joking that the last time we were by the river at that spot, Edward was so nervous about our first kiss. As I turned to face him, I realised he was on one knee with a beautiful box in his hand, and I burst into tears before he prompted me, ‘it’s traditional to give a reply,’ and I managed to muster a ‘yes’ through my tears.” Read on to see some of Jessica’s favourite moments from their big day... 37 REAL WEDDINGS
