MADE FOR each other Rachel and Lewis’s big day was nothing short of spectacular Images courtesy of Lee Scullion Photography Rachel met Lewis when she worked as a barmaid in his local pub. “We had mutual friends but didn’t know each other very well,” says the bride. “I was good friends with Lewis’s brother and cousin before I actually got to know Lewis himself. It’s fair to say I was interested in him before he was interested in me!” Lewis proposed on a surprise trip to Dublin. “We flew out on my birthday and spent the first day doing all the usual touristy things, including a trip to the Guinness Storehouse,” continues Rachel. “On the second day Lewis said he wanted to visit the Castle, and after wandering around we went into the gardens. We started walking up some steps, and as we got to the top Lewis got down on one knee. I was so surprised that I shouted, ‘What are you doing?’ before I realised, quickly replying, ‘Yes!’.” The couple set the date of 4 March, 2022, choosing Northumberland’s Newton Hall as their venue.
