Your Sussex Wedding - April/May 2022 (Issue 96)

It seems that Charlee and Sam’s paths were always destined to cross eventually as they’d been on the periphery of each others lives for so long before they officially met. While they knew of one another at school, being in different years, they never really spoke and when they started working at the same company, they were placed in different teams. “We’d seen each other several times on work and non-work related nights out,” Charlee explains. It was at one such event that Sam finally decided to approach Charlee and they got on so well, they decided to set up a first date. It was a wonder that Sam managed to keep his proposal plans from Charlee, given the preparation involved – we’re told, she usually finds out everything he tries to hide! In the summer of 2019 the pair were visiting their favourite holiday hotspot, Lanzarote. They took a walk to a special spot where they’d placed a love lock on a rail during a previous trip, only this time Charlee found another one right next to it, emblazoned with the words, “Will you marry me?” The newly engaged Charlee and Sam loved the idea of getting married outdoors and found themselves attracted to Cottesmore Hotel Golf and Country Club, which also allowed them to host the whole day in one place. “It turned out to be the perfect venue for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier,” Charlee shares. Join us as the bride shares her memories of the big day... STAYING NETURAL Charlee and Sam enlisted the help of “We experienced a rollercoaster of emotions on the day including nerves, tears, laughter... The nerves weren’t as bad as we thought though, and we both ended up having the best day of our lives.” 34
