Real Weddings from Your East Anglian Wedding

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Chloe and John first laid eyes on each other at work. "Chloe complemented my car one morning as we were arriving to work," says John. "We spoke briefly and I rushed into work, not fully embracing her comment. We then met again during a work party. I set my eyes on her and thought she was lovely, but that I had no chance – not in my league! That turned out to be a false assumption and in summer 2016, we started exchanging messages and we went from there!"

Our Dream Day

Rachel and Lauren met through a mutual friend. "We had a lot in common and got along well from the off," says Rachel. "However, as Lauren was in the military, it was around 10 months before we got together, as she was posted in Cyprus for six months."

Made For Each Other

Sarah and Daniel met at school. "We didn't actually speak until a night out for my sister's birthday 22 years ago," says Sarah. "The day after, he jumped out at me with a bunch of flowers while I was walking to work."

Autumnal Bliss

Danielle and Sam met while on a night out. "A mutual friend introduced us," says Danielle. "She still calls herself cupid for setting us up. He added me on Facebook after I left; we got talking and went from there. On our first date, we took my dog for a walk, and she ran off, which she had never done before. I don't think she approved, but she absolutely loves him now."

A Splash of Colour

Emma and Marwen met while on holiday. "It was your typical holiday romance that turned into a life together here in the UK," says Emma. "Marwen proposed to me during a holiday to Istanbul with our friends. He bought me flowers and a beautiful gold ring with a diamond and asked if I would marry him."

At One With Nature

Harriet and Bernie met at young farmers and connected over their shared sense of humour. After their relationship blossomed, Bernie proposed to Harriet on Christmas Eve at Waxham Beach. "It was a complete surprise and he had picked out a beautiful opal and diamond ring," says Harriet. "It was lovely getting to visit our friends over Christmas to share our exciting news."

A Touch of Romance

Tilly and Jordan met when they were teenagers. "We got along really well and had lots in common," says Tilly. "Jordan proposed in 2017 at Centre Parcs. He bought our daughter a babygrow that said, "mummy, will you marry daddy?" It was a complete surprise and I was very shocked."

Our Perfect Day

Laura and Danny met, like most modern couples, online. "We spoke by text for a few weeks before meeting for a drink," says Laura. "We've been together ever since."

The Most Perfect Day

Katie and Darren first laid eyes on each other when they became next-door neighbours. "We always got along well whenever we bumped into each other, but Darren moved to another house and soon after, so did I," says Katie. "A few years later, we met at work after I started a new job at the same place as Darren. We were put on the same team during a period of 12-hour shifts and instantly hit it off. There was a mutual attraction and an instant spark between us.

Love At First Sight

Sam and Jen first laid eyes on each other in 2018. "I remember that day like it was yesterday," says Jen. "We met at work, although I use the term 'met' loosely because, at first, she seemed to have no idea that I existed. I walked into the office kitchen and there she was, sitting at the table, engrossed in a book. Sam was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and I couldn't help but feel an instant connection, even though we hadn't exchanged a word.
