Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 44)

Cornwall Georgia and Jack’s coastal wedding enjoyed Polurrian on the Lizard as the stunning backdrop Images courtesy of Jake Timms Georgia and Jack Leakey married on 29th October 2022 at Polurrian on the Lizard in Cornwall. MADE IN Georgia and Jack started their love story via the online dating app Bumble in September 2022. “I sent the first message and two days later, we were on our first date in a restaurant in Falmouth,” Georgia tells us. “It was a dinner date that lasted six hours which was the start of our romance - Jack and I have been inseparable since! From the moment we met, we both knew that it was the beginning of our lives together. After our second date, we both deleted the dating app because we knew that we wouldn’t need it again. After a few weeks, Jack met my entire extended family and I’d visited his parents with him in Devon.” The couple became engaged after having gone ring shopping together. “Jack wanted to know that I would love the ring because I would be wearing it for the rest of my life,” Georgia tells us. “He was planning on waiting a while after we had purchased it to propose, but he got down on one knee after dinner one evening while I was staying with him at his base at RNAS Culdrose (he is in the Royal Navy). It wasn’t what he had originally planned but it was perfect – it was very romantic and spontaneous!” Here, Georgia tells us all about their wedding at the Cornish coastal hotel Polurrian on the Lizard which was decorated with a cream and green colour theme. She says “We started planning our wedding just eight weeks before the big day itself. We became engaged on 26th June 2022, and we agreed that we’d like to get married in 2023 because we were in the process of buying a house first. However, with Jack qualifying as an Observer the following summer, we were never going to be sure if he would be home or away on the ship, so we both decided that rather than planning a wedding and not knowing, in August 2023, we decided to get married that October!” 33 REAL WEDDINGS
