Emily and Charlie met in 2013 when they both attended the same school in Derbyshire. They've been together ever since and, says Emily, “Charlie has always been the funniest person in the room. He's also extremely kind and caring.” It was all of these traits that attracted her to him.
Charlie proposed on their ninth anniversary, while the couple were walking their Labrador, Dennis, at Curbar Edge in the Peak District. When they arrived at the top on this chilly but beautiful sunny day, with no one else around, Charlie popped the question.
Although the couple went to look at several venues they kept coming back to the idea of hosting their big day on Charlie's family farm in East Yorkshire. “It meant we could have a blank canvas to work with and we'd be able to make the day exactly how we wanted it,” Emily explains. “It's a special place for Charlie and me. He's grown up on the farm and I've been welcome there since being with him. We both adore going up there and helping out whenever possible. The views are unrivalled.”
