The proposal: In their house on May 9, 2015. The couple were packing to go on holiday in two days, Louise went in the shower totally oblivious that Andy had planned to propose that night. As Louise got out of the shower she had noticed something on the landing and running down the stairs Andy had placed a series of pebbles and on each one he had wrote a bit of the story which was ‘When a male penguin finds his soul mate, he searches the entire beach, looking for the perfect pebble, he picks it up and presents it to her… Like a proposal’ and on the last pebble it had ‘will you..’ and it led Louise into the front room where Andy was down on one knee surrounded by candles.
Wedding rings: Louise has a 18 carat white gold diamond set shoulders with inset for engagement ring to fit into, from Beaverbrooks, and Andy brushed palladium with polished band on each side of the brushed centre, from H Samuel.
What did the bride wear: Designer was Morilee by Madeline Gardner, it had a sweetheart neckline which was embellished and was a fitted trumpet style dress it had patterned embroidery and beading over Chantilly lace in a café colour!
