Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 36)

Bryony and Zoe attended the same secondary school where they became best friends. “We shared similar interests and our friendship grew stronger after we left school,” they tell us. “Five years later, we fell in love and purchased a house together.” The couple became engaged on 26th June 2019 when Bryony proposed to Zoe at Bigbury on Sea beach in Devon. “I couldn’t think of anything better than having Zoe as my wife,” Bryony tells us. “I asked her mum and dad for their blessing before popping the question at our favourite spot. Zoe’s mum Debbie had helped me choose the ring which was a big surprise for Zoe, and she said “yes” instantly - plenty of happy tears were shared!” SETTING THE SCENE The couple wanted a venue that would accommodate their ceremony and reception. “When we first viewed Trevenna, we loved the natural beauty of the place and the fact that it was in a secluded, private location,” they tell us. “It offered multiple options for where we could have our ceremony, both inside and outdoors, meaning we didn’t have to worry about the weather and the hosts were very welcoming and could cater for all of our needs. It also allowed up to 40 guests to stay for the entire weekend with us which was important because it “I felt nervous in the morning and was the most emotional one during the ceremony! I became more relaxed during the evening – the day just went by so quickly and I didn’t stop smiling!” – Bryony REAL WEDDINGS 25
