Your South Wales Wedding - November/December 2022 (Issue 88)

Country romance Holly and Matt had an elegant country-themed wedding at St Denys Church Lisvane and Glewstone Court Country House Images courtesy of Lewis Fackrell Photography Holly and Matt met over a decade ago. “Matt saw me dancing the night away in Cardiff while he was studying at university, and the rest is history,” says Holly. “Matt popped the question during a holiday to Sri Lanka to visit his family. On the second day, Matt and I went for a walk on the beach, and while I was busy taking photos of the sea, Matt got down on one knee! I was so shocked, I just kept asking: ‘are you serious?’. I obviously agreed and he put the most beautiful ring on my finger. The engagement was such a surprise and for it to happen on Matt’s childhood beach was extra special. What was even more wonderful was that we were able to celebrate with both mine and Matt’s parents. We had an engagement party with all the extended family under the coconut trees, which was magical.” Here she shares some of her favourite moments from their big day... REAL WEDDINGS 47
