Collette + Rich
How did you meet?
We met on an online dating site when we were both ready to settle down and find the one. Rich reckons I asked him to meet but I 100% didn’t! He definitely made the first move!
When did you know they were the one?
Rich says he knew I was the one very early on but for me it took some time. I wanted to take my time and be sure and the more I got to know and learn about him the more I fell in love with him and knew I didn’t want to spend a day not being with him!
What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?
There are so many….! He is the most caring person I know, I can 100% trust him and he’s hilarious! I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love him!
Where did you fall in love with your dress and why?
I did a lot of searching online and found Harlie which I absolutely loved!! I arranged to try it on in Love Bridal Boutique in Altrincham and instantly knew that it was the one! I only went to one shop and didn’t need to look any further! I felt so special wearing it and it just felt like me instantly!
Who proposed and how?
Rich proposed to me, he took me on a surprise weekend to Edinburgh for my birthday (I’d always wanted to go). He took me out for dinner and we went for a night time stroll and when we got up to Edinburgh castle I peered over the wall to admire the buildings all lit up and when I turned back around he was on one knee. I balled my eyes out and he asked me to marry him! It was truly perfect!!
Where did you go to honeymoon?
We went on a safari in Kenya! It was so magical! Then followed by 10 days in Zanzibar which is amazing! Best holiday ever!
