Tell us about where and when you first both first met and What were your first impressions of each other when you first met?
We met at our best friends wedding. Ana was my maid of honour and one of Felix’s best friends for well over a decade and Ben was Felix’s best man. Ana always had us down as perfect for each other and used her wedding as the perfect place to set us up 5 years ago. My first impression was that he was gorgeous charming and very cheeky and Felix’s ‘simply spectacular’.
Tell us about who proposed to who and where did it happen?
Felix Proposed to me – it was one of the most magical days of my life. He did so via an advent calendar over Christmas we I had a gift and surprise for every day of advent. Day 16 was ‘a winters walk’ I will never forget where he got down on one knee at the top of Richmond Hill at sunset. I screamed liked a mental person and ran away in fits of happiness like an excited puppy! A few friends and family were waiting in the pub to surprise me!

Was there any funny moments that you will always remember about your destination wedding in Spain?
There were a few - One of Felix’s ushers rugby tackling another (which we have on film) was very funny. My mum losing her sh*t as everyone was watching the Football rather than her tango! Me being ever so slightly drunk and being nervous I was unable to do the first dance. We popped behind the bushes to give it a twirl and I nearly fell over twice. Felix managed to persuade me and we absolutely smashed it!
