Zoe and George were friends who started dating after spending more and more time together and realising how well they got on. “I went to the University of Birmingham a few months later and that’s when we made it official,” Zoe tells us. “Eights years on and now we’re married!” The couple became engaged during a surprise proposal. “We’d discussed getting married for a few years beforehand and thought it would be nice to set the date as our anniversary,” Zoe explains. “I had seen our chosen venue a few years previously on Instagram so we went to view it before we became engaged! We both fell in love with it, paid a deposit and also booked the church and our photographer - our friends thought we were crazy because we hadn’t got engaged yet! A few months passed and although I knew we were getting married, the proposal was a complete surprise - George took me out for a late birthday lunch and then my friends drove over to take me out too. They blindfolded me and the next time I opened my eyes, I was in my garden surrounded by our closest friends and family with George on one knee. Everyone had decorated the garden and house and arranged a surprise proposal and party. This was shortly after the lockdown restrictions were lifted so it was the best feeling having all of our close family and friends witness such a special moment. Although I knew that George was going to officially propose at some point, it was a complete surprise and shock when he did. Not a conventional proposal, but it worked for us!” Here, Zoe tells us all about their wedding at The Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury, Gloucestershire decorated with a monochrome colour theme.
