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 whilst working at a local pub (The Crown @ Stoke by Nayland), I began waitressing after finishing uni & Karl was one of the chefs there.
First impressions, I thought he was a very confident "LAD"...until he tried to talk to me, & he thought I was a quiet posh girl!
Tell us about who proposed to who and where did it happen?
Karl proposed on a rooftop bar in Barcelona, just before the fireworks started in the city to mark the end of the Catalan festival - it was amazing!
Give us three words each to describe each other and what they mean to you?
Bride:
Independant - Strong & driven in whatever she sets her mind to
Kind - Kind and caring towards myself, family and friends
Supportive - Always supports me through the long days working in the kitchen, be it making sure there is food on the table when I finally get home or having clean whites ready to go!
Groom:-
Spontaneous - He lives in the moment & you can never guess what he is going to do next, but life is never dull when he is around
Generous - He is so generous and kind towards myself, family and friends
Caring - Although he gives the impression of being one of the "lads", he is incredibly caring and treats me like royalty
