Your Yorkshire Wedding - Page number 29 - July/August 2021 (Issue 49)

Winter wonderland K elly and Oliver met nine years ago on a good old-fashioned night out (remember those?). “Oliver was a breath of fresh air: outgoing, fun and charming,” Kelly tells us. “I was instantly attracted to him and we’ve been inseparable ever since!” Fast forward a few years, and the pair are fully renovating their home. Kelly thought that a proposal was the last thing on Oliver’s mind – even though he knew she wanted to get married. “He proposed in Marrakech on my birthday,” Kelly smiles. “He had a big surprise planned for the evening, but couldn’t wait any longer and proposed on a sun lounger first thing in the morning. The surprise was going to include a camel, so I was secretly glad that didn’t happen!” Of course, Kelly was over the moon, and once back in the UK the pair started thinking about their dream wedding. However, with the pandemic making wedding planning almost impossible, they decided instead to plan a last-minute celebration, with a church ceremony at St. Chad’s followed by a reception at Hazlewood Castle for 29 th December, 2020. Kelly fills us in on the details… Kelly and Oliver’s last-minute December wedding sparkled at Hazlewood Castle Images courtesy of Charlotte Clemie Photography REAL WEDDING 29
