A romantic treasure hunt proposal and a quest for the ideal wedding gown culminated in a romantic fairy-tale wedding day.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by the beautifully manicured grounds and grandiose architecture of Culloden Estate Hotel & Spa<\/a>, Blair and Laura celebrated their special day surrounded by friends and family. With love and laughter filling each moment of the day, the young lovers created the perfect start to their happily ever after.<\/p>\n

THE BEGINNING<\/h2>\n

“We met through Queen\u2019s University. We were both staying at Stranmillis Halls at the time\u00a0and\u00a0kept bumping into each other. We were definitely friends first, just friends who liked holding hands.”<\/p>\n

THE PROPOSAL<\/h2>\n

“Blair\u00a0took me on a treasure hunt of all the significant places in our relationship. We went to where we met, had our first kiss, our favourite date spots,\u00a0and\u00a0ended up at Castlerock overlooking the sea. It had ended up a pretty wet evening but it stayed dry long enough for him to pop the question. I don\u2019t wear any jewelry really so\u00a0Blair\u00a0had the mammoth task of finding a ring that I would want to wear everyday,\u00a0and\u00a0he did pretty well! It was a white gold diamond cluster, like I\u2019d hinted at.”<\/p>\n

THE DRESS<\/h2>\n

“Where\u00a0and\u00a0how did you choose it? \u2028It took me a long time to find my dress,\u00a0and\u00a0we ended up all the way in Balybofey, Donegal to get it. It was the fifth shop we\u2019d been in\u00a0and\u00a0I\u2019d lost count of the number of dresses I had tried. I suppose it was just the first one I\u2019d tried on\u00a0and\u00a0been really happy with. My mum\u00a0and\u00a0aunt both loved it too,\u00a0and\u00a0as they\u2019re very critical, we knew that it was the right one.”<\/p>\n

THE THEME<\/h2>\n

“I kept telling people our theme was marriage as a joke, but I think that\u2019s what we ended up with. It was never really about the theme or decorations or anything, because we always knew it was about our families,\u00a0and\u00a0if they were happy, so were we.”<\/p>\n

SPECIAL MOMENTS<\/h2>\n

“My favourite moments were either walking up the aisle, or when all of our duties were done in the evening! It was the first time I got to kick my shoes off, have a drink\u00a0and\u00a0just chat to people.” – Bride<\/p>\n

“The most special part of the day was definitely when\u00a0Laura\u00a0first walked up the aisle.” -Groom<\/p>\n
