Laura and Iain's Wedding
The Couple
Tell us a little about how you met
We met at school but only started dating in 6th form.
Talk us through the proposal
It was our 5 year anniversary and Iain had booked for us to go to Gillies for a meal. I had no idea what was in store for me that evening. We had a lovely meal and then Iain suggested talking a walk around the resort as it was nicely decorated for Christmas. We "happened" to end up at the Christmas tree beside the roaring fire. Paul (who knew what was about to happen) then offered to take our picture at the tree. I had no idea what was about to come next and I stood posing for a picture. Unknown to me, Iain had placed the ring on the mantle piece and while I was saying cheeeseeeee Iain had grabbed the ring from the fire place and was down on one knee. I was speechless but of course I said yes!! Paul captured the moment and then walked us out to the Rolls Royce, which Iain had organised to take us back to share the great news with our families.
