Your North East Wedding - September/October 2022 (Issue 52)

A APART world Dani and Mitch started their journey living on opposite sides of the globe Images courtesy of Ruth and Ben Dani met Mitch in the world of online dating after she spotted his profile on Tinder. “I’d recently deleted the app as I never found anyone to suit, but one day I redownloaded it just for a look – and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! Mitch was living in Australia at the time, so I was pretty confused when I saw how many miles away he was when we matched. We started talking on Instagram, which led to us FaceTiming every day. I actually rang my mam after we spoke for the first time, saying I’d met the man of my dreams. I even joked that we might get married! It’s safe to say I’m now a firm believer in the ‘when you know, you know’ theory!” Mitch proposed to Dani on a surprise trip away to Madeira. “He was watching weather reports at the tallest mountain for the full week before we were there, and I honestly couldn’t figure out why,” continues the bride. We eventually climbed Pico Ruivo one morning to watch the sunrise, and while admiring the view I turned to see him down on one knee. He said, ‘Danielle Brown, I believe we have something special, and I want us to build something beautiful together. Will you marry me?’ I burst into happy tears, screamed ‘Yes!’ – and in my delight forgot to even look at the ring!” The couple set the date of 7th May, 2022, choosing Hexham House as their venue and Vercelli restaurant for their reception.
