Amanda & Mark's Wedding
The Couple
Tell us a little about how you met
We both work for the same company and attended a training course together. We hit it off from there...
Talk us through the proposal
For a little pre-Christmas treat, Mark and I decided to fly to Edinburgh in December last year to see the city and soak up the Christmas atmosphere. Having been a student in Edinburgh, I was excited to show Mark the sights. On our first night, we took in the amazing Christmas Market and a walk along the Royal Mile. We visited the Castle on our second day and after the one o'clock gun was fired we went to the see the Great Hall at the top of the Castle. While I was looking around, a member of staff asked if I would like to see the painting on the balcony upstairs. I must admit, I thought she had mistaken me for someone else, but I was happy to go along with the VIP offer. She led us upstairs to the balcony; it was candle lit and there was a bottle of bubbly chilling on the table below the painting. When I turned to look back at Mark, he was already down on one knee. It was the perfect surprise!!

Why Galgorm Resort & Spa
I booked a day spa package at the Thermal Village on Mark's first birthday together as a couple. We loved it from then.
What made you choose a Resort location
To have it all in one location. To be able to wake up, get ready and not have the stress of travel. We hoped that most guest would stay and enjoyed the party and they did.
Tell us the most memorable part of your day
The ceremony itself, it was so intimate and emotional. The setting was perfect.
