A Church Wedding and Reception at The Village Hotel, Warrington

Lisa and Stewart’s War­ring­ton wed­ding day: part 1

Who pro­posed, and how?

Stew­art pro­posed at sun­set on the beach at Boa Vista, Cape Verde. We said we were going to watch the sun­set (as we try to do on every hol­i­day) so we got ready for the evening, grabbed a drink and wan­dered down to the beau­ti­ful golden beach.

We were watch­ing the sun set and Stew­art had planned to get down on one knee just as the sun set. How­ever, within 10 min­utes, the sun had dropped out of the sky behind a haze — not very inspiring!

Lisa turned to Stew­art and said “that wasn’t very good, let’s go and get a drink“, so quick as a flash, I said “actu­ally, the rea­son I wanted to come down here was……” then drop­ping to one knee, I asked if she would marry me. So we went from the dis­ap­point­ment of the sun­set to the excite­ment of our engage­ment. Def­i­nitely time for a drink now!!!!!

The hockey girls doing a guard of hon­our going in and com­ing out of the church. (Both Lisa and I play hockey for Run­corn HC and the Girls have made it a bit of a tra­di­tion to form a guard of hon­our for any of the girls get­ting married)
