Your North East Wedding - May/June 2022 (Issue 50)

A THING shore Tabby and Dean’s beachside wedding was a relaxed and boho affair Images courtesy of Fusco Media Tabby met Dean via BlackBerry messenger 12 years ago. “Dean asked me out and when it came to meeting the weather was awful,” remembers the bride. “He had to borrow his brother’s little red Polo to come and get me, and we ended up going for a drive as the snow was too bad to do anything else! We got on like a house on fire, and it was clear to both of us that we’d both found someone special.” After nine years together the couple were in Glasgow for a Pink concert. “Dean has since told me I ruined two proposal attempts while we were there!” continues Tabby. “We were meant to go for lunch, but I decided to meet up with a friend last minute, which ruined Plan A. Dean then reverted to Plan B, nagging me to get my nails done, as I’d always joked he wasn’t to propose if I hadn’t had them painted! We had dinner booked with his brother and sister-in-law, who were with us for the concert. The trouble is they’re never on time for anything, so I purposely made us late – meaning once I was finally ready no restaurants were open! We had to get McDonald’s for tea, so Plan C resulted in Dean proposing when it was just the two of us in the hotel room!” The couple set their big day for the 14th August, 2021, choosing Barn on the Bay as their wedding venue. Here, Tabby tells us all about their amazing celebration… REAL WEDDINGS 43
