AFTER Appy Ever A match on an app led to everlasting love for Sarah and Oli Images courtesy of Tom Benson Photography Sarah met Oli through the dating app, Bumble. “I messaged asking if I’d met Oli before – a genuine question as I really thought I had!” says Sarah. “He replied quickly, then we went on our first date 10 days later. Fast forward another two weeks, and I found myself sitting in a quaint Yorkshire pub meeting Oli’s parents!” Oli proposed during a trip away to Bamburgh. “Before we left, I was searching for the toothpaste and realised Oli had already packed it,” continues the bride. “I went in his washbag to get it out, and was met with a stern look and a few choice words telling me not to go through his things – which was strange and totally out of character for him! The drive there was quiet, and I thought I might have upset him, but when we arrived Oli was keen to take the warm Champagne we’d packed on a beach walk with us. Looking back, the signs where there, but I wasn’t listening to them at all! Eventually, Oli suggested we sit on some rocks looking at the view across the sea, before asking me to stand up and look at the water for a picture. When I turned back round, there he was down on one knee. I of course said, ‘Yes!’.” The couple set the date of 31 May 2023, choosing Skipbridge Country Weddings as their venue.
