Abi and Jonathan met online, and after five years together, while celebrating their anniversary, Jonathan popped the question. Abi remembers, “He’d booked a window table with a view at Sushi Samba. Starter and mains had been served and enjoyed, then just before the dessert menu was presented, Jonathan knelt down on one knee while no one was looking and asked me to marry him.”

The pair began to look for a wedding venue and once they’d seen Rowhill Grange nothing could beat it or even match it for them.

Read on as the bride gives us the lowdown on the big day – 21st August, 2022...

We chose favours that would reflect our cultures. They were Welsh cakes and love spoons, along with Africa-shaped key rings, African beads,

As we were getting married on a Sunday, we opted for a Sunday roast wedding breakfast.

Our centrepieces and bouquets all featured eucalyptus with ivory flowers.

How did we feel on the day? I was nervous, but Jonathan was totally laid back – ‘Oh well, it’s a day out!’

The weather was glorious and we loved sharing our special day with our friends and family.

We hired a disco light for the dancefloor, which really added to the party atmosphere.
