Abigail and Jon-Paul Allenza – 26th July 2024

Tell Us How You Met and All About Your Proposal …

We’re a tinder love story! Went on a first date and didn’t want to spend a day apart from each other

We got engaged in Cyprus 2022. He asked me to marry him on a promenade during sunset which over looked the sea. I felt like I had tunnel vision. It was a real pinch me moment.

Let’s Talk About The Dress And Your Journey …

I loved my whole experience! The girls at SCB really listened to me about the style of dress I had in mind and helped me every step of the way. The quality of the dresses are beautiful and there is so much choice to choose from. I was made to feel comfortable and their knowledge/advice is so valuable

On my wedding day I just wanted to feel beautiful. I wanted a dress that was both elegant and classy but also something that complimented my figure. The dress fit this description perfectly

I wore Essense D3153

How Did People React When They Saw You In Your Dress …

My dad cried his eyes out and said he couldn’t believe how beautiful I looked.
My bridesmaids and guests said the dress was “very me” and suited me perfectly

Where Was Your Venue And What Made You Choose The Venue …

We loved the different aspects of the venue as it has a house, barn, courtyard and lake all at one venue.

Are There Any Special Memories You Would Like To Share From Your Special Day …

Father and daughter dance that we practised for a couple of months before the wedding. It started off slowly then the music cut into different funny parts which really reflected mine and my dads bond.

We also announced that one of our friends had received the all clear from cancer the same week as our wedding so we made a special announcement and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room

Tell Us About Your Wedding Colour And Theme …

Sage green, cream and gold

How Did You Make Your Day Unique To Your Love Story …

We printed off personalised newspapers for all our guests about our love story. We also had figures made of myself, Jon-Paul and our Labrador Willow which added to our cake decoration

Did You Have A First Dance, What Song Did You Go For …

The Vow – Ruthanne

Honeymoon Heaven … Where Did You Honeymoon …

Perfect Planning – Can You Give Future Brides Any Tips For Planning The Big Day …

The best advise I could give is to enjoy it as much as possible and don’t stress the little things. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed and a variety of different emotions during the planning process and lead up. Always remember this is your day, nobody else’s and don’t loose sight of what’s important. At the end of the day you’re going to marry the love of your life and that’s all that really matters, everything else is a bonus
