Love story Debbie and Becca’s work relationship soon developed into something more Images courtesy of Clare Kentish Photography Debbie met Becca at work in 2011. “Debbie was opening a brandnew restaurant and I interviewed to be a waitress,” says Becca. “We worked together for a couple of months before we began dating, with our relationship developing quite quickly as we were together all the time. Running a restaurant meant we didn’t have much free time in the beginning to go out, but the dates we did have were amazing – and we quickly fell in love.” After six years together Debbie and Becca got engaged – by accident! “By this time, we’d made a decision to close the restaurant side of the business and begin our journey as a wedding and events venue. During the week, we’d run networking occasions, where I met a lovely lady called Amanda. She worked with her husband, Michael, at their own bespoke jewellery store. Amanda and I had a long chat about rings, and I booked an appointment – without consulting Debs – just to look at some ideas. To cut a long story short, we came out of the appointment having commissioned two bespoke engagement rings! We kept it all a secret until the rings were ready to collect, and became officially engaged in October 2017.” Debbie and Becca’s wedding was booked for the 27th August 2021, with the couple choosing a ceremony at Colchester Town Hall and their reception at Peldon Community Hall.
