Your Yorkshire Wedding - Page number 39 - May/June 2021 (Issue 48)

Beth and Michael’s winter wedding will make you feel all warm and cosy Images courtesy of Drawn by Light Photography MEANT B eth and Michael met when Beth went to check out Michael’s band, before her brother and sister-in-law booked them for their wedding. They got chatting after the gig, but then didn’t hear anything from each other until later that year. “Michael was friends with my brother’s best friend, Sally,” Beth tells us. “Sally mentioned to me that Michael was single and suggested we met up – by March I had moved in with him and I clung on for dear life!” Michael chose Bonifacius Bridge in Bruges as the perfect spot to propose. “He was messing around with his camera – or so I thought,” Beth says. “All of a sudden he dropped down on one knee and popped the question. My first reaction can’t be repeated, but it was along the lines of ‘Are you joking?’” After the initial shock and tears, of course she said ‘Yes’, and they celebrated with an amazing meal and moonlit stroll through Bruges’ canal- lined streets. Back home, the date was set for 29 th November, 2019, and they chose the quirky Crab & Lobster Restaurant in Thirsk for the setting.
