Love of my life Demelza and James celebrated their big day at Bourton Hall surrounded by family and friends Images courtesy of Chris Chambers Photography Demelza and James first met when they were in their early 20s. “We were introduced through mutual friends on a night out,” says Demelza. “About eight years passed, and we hadn’t seen each other again until a night out in August 2014 when we bumped into one another and exchanged numbers. I believe in fate, and the timing was just right. I thought he was gorgeous, and most importantly, he made me laugh. We are best friends and inseparable.” James proposed during a weekend away in Bath. “The weekend didn’t go as planned as the heavens opened and we were soaked through,” shares the bride. “In all honesty, I didn’t think James ever wanted to get married, so when he got down on one knee, I thought he was joking. Once I knew he was serious, I didn’t hesitate with my answer, and I was in complete shock for the rest of the weekend. It wasn’t the romantic story that everyone likes to hear, but it was perfect for us!” Here the bride shares some of her favourite moments from their big day... REAL WEDDINGS 27
