Wedding Date on Sep 16, 2022

Lizzy is the sister of Dave's friend from school. They both went to the same school, but Lizzy was about four years below. They started talking late 2015 after both coming out of other relationships, and things blossomed from there starting in 2016. They went on holiday to the Cotswolds in May 2021, in the short break between lockdowns. Dave had already bought the ring back in December 2020, but was desperately trying to find an opportunity to propose somewhere other than the living room! He had booked a few stops on the way to their AirBnB near Stroud, not knowing exactly where he was going to propose, but after a few stops that didn't quite seem right, they arrived at Croome just outside of Gloucester, where he stopped in the Temple Greenhouse looking onto the main house, which he pointed out to Lizzy, he got down on one knee, and as Lizzy turned around, asked her to marry him. Just then, a couple of swallows that were nesting in the greenhouse flew around their heads. About their wedding day, they say: "We have opted for a traditional and generally elegant style, with an attempt to mix some modern and military twists in. We've focused on the important things - entertainment, food and plenty of drinks."
