Te Amo Te Amo Lucy and Hugo’s day celebrated their love in two languages Images courtesy of Paul Talbot Photography Lucy met Hugo when they were teenagers, “Hugo was at an all boys school when I attended and all girls school. I was attracted to Hugo’s beautiful twilight eyes and thick black hair. We were the same age but he was very mature and really kind and caring; he always had lots of interesting things to tell me.” Hugo adds, “Lucy also had beautiful eyes, she was so shy and cute.” Hugo proposed in Florence, Italy on14th January 2023, exactly one month after the couple’s eleven-year anniversary. “It was my birthday at the end of the month, so my birthday wishes came early – it was the perfect gift. The setting was beautiful; we sat down on the steps of the Ufizzi Plaza next to the Arno River one evening. There was nobody in the plaza apart from us and there happened to be one street artist playing the most beautiful and romantic tunes on his violin. It was perfectly set out for us. We reflected upon the past year and the wonderful things that we had achieved together. Hugo then told me he’d got me a birthday present which I assumed was at home. He suddenly pulled out this little Tiffany box. I was so shocked I said ‘no’ as in ‘no way’ and Hugo said ‘No?’ I said ‘no no carry on’. Hugo was so nervous he initially gave the box to me making me think it wasn’t what I thought, he quickly took it back, got it the right way round, opened it and asked me to marry him. I instantly started streaming with tears of joy, I was crying so much that I forgot to say yes and Hugo had to remind me. It was the best feeling I’d ever felt. I’d never been so happy to hear those three little words. He’d fully made my dreams come true.” The big date was set, 27th July, 2024, with Gorse Hill Hotel, Surrey setting the scene.
