ROMANCE Gothic Zoe and Nick celebrated their wedding day with a super-cool and edgy Tim Burton theme Images courtesy of Chris Giles Photography Zoe and Nick met via MSN Messenger when they both received a silly chainletter email from a mutual friend. Nick’s address got added to Zoe’s MSN account and from there, the two became best friends and discovered that they worked in the same department store. Zoe proposed to Nick on 29th April, when she got up early, gave Nick a card and got down on one knee. Happily, Nick said, “Yes,” before Zoe disappeared on a weekend away with a friend! The couple found themselves attracted to Southend Barns when they came across it while searching for a wedding venue. “It was beautiful, and had a timeless feel with benches along the barn’s long aisle,” Zoe says. “The toilets were also a big thing as I knew I wanted a big dress!” So, that settled, the date was booked for 4th November, 2022.
