Where did you meet?
We met when a friend recommended him to tile and decorate my bathroom. David walked through the door and I fell for him there and then

What attracted you to him?
His great smile – and I felt as if I’d known him forever

Over dinner at Aldwark Manor

The hugest ‘Dizzy Lizzie’ creation I could find from Perfect Day Bridal in Malton

Honeymoon
We are heading out to Turkey in October – our first holiday for five years

Venue
Stillingfleet Village Institute. We had the most amazing steak and seafood barbecue by our fantastic caterers, Marian Catering. They own the Blacksmith’s in Naburn, and, after many an enjoyable Sunday there, we knew they were the only possible candidates for the job. They even got us special Wychwood beer wedding tshirts and hand-pull labels – I didn’t know that’s how the brewery started, when someone brewed beer for a friend’s wedding

Cake
A three-tier stacked with three different cakes – fruit on the bottom, then sponge and then chocolate, made by my friend Julie, from Perfect Day Bridal, in Malton
