TELL US YOUR STORY: "I met Kenny through a mutual friend who introduced us. Our first date was at a lovely restaurant called Sole, where we hit it off straight away and had a lovely evening getting to know each other. We met again the next day for coffee and that was that. We dated for 6 years and then while on a trip to the Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana, on my birthday, Kenny got down on one knee on the beach at the resort and asked me if I would marry him. Of course, I said yes with a great big smile and tears in my eyes and the rest is history" - K

BIGGEST CHALLENGE: "Getting everything to Punta Cana! It was like a military operation with checklists everywhere but so worth all the effort." - K

BEST MEMORY: "The best memory, apart from the actual ceremony and being married to Kenny, was having the whole family and all of our friends around us. People traveled from all around the world and it was a blessing having everyone we love there on our big day. The whole day is the best memory." - K

ADVICE: "Make sure you start planning early and make lists! They are the best things in the world when you have so much to do. The most important thing is, it’s your day, soak it all up and enjoy every moment and have fun. - K&K
