Once Upon a Time in a Fairytale Setting...


Visit our sister blog www.bespokendreams.blogspot.com to read all about Lesley and Richard's romantic wedding.

“Our song was a massive thing for us. We are huge fans of Billy Joel so had ‘(I Love You) Just the Way You Are’. It summed up everything we felt about each other - and still do!!!!”

Lesley and Richard Hunter wed in a romantic, fairytale castle on 26th June 2004. They met when Lesley, aged 17, booked a holiday for Richard and his friends in the travel agent where she worked. Some say it was their ‘passport to love….!’

A White Wedding in the Bright Light City!


Check out Kimberley and Stephen's Las Vegas wedding in our sister blog, http://www.bespokendreams.blogspot.com/

“The waiters came out with roses, and when Stephen proposed I burst into tears. The waiters and all the other patrons of the restaurant then burst into rapturous applause, whilst I was still sobbing and sniveling”!

Kimberley and Stephen Moss met in 1997 and were married in Las Vegas on 2nd April 2008. The ceremony was held at the Wedding Chapel at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, and the reception followed at the hotel’s exclusive China Grill restaurant. The blissfully happy couple then toasted their special day with cocktails in the Mix Bar on the 65th floor, overlooking the Las Vegas strip. Following that, the wedding party hit the casino!
