Emma and Kieran’s wedding was spectacular from start to finish

Emma and Kieran met through Facebook when Kieran clicked ‘add friend’ after spotting Emma’s profile. “We were attracted to one another instantly and enjoyed spending time together over the next few months,” says Emma. “It was as if we’d known each other for a lot longer than we actually had, and everything felt ‘just right’. We even began to think our paths had crossed in the past and we hadn’t realised.”

Kieran proposed to Emma on holiday in Mexico. “Kieran had already found the perfect ring with the help of my mum, and planned to pop the question on a swing in the sea for that picture-perfect moment,” continues the bride. “However, as we got to the swing a huge tractor appeared out of nowhere and stopped close by! Instead, Kieran asked me to marry him later that night overlooking a waterfall in an incredible restaurant. It’s a moment neither of us will ever forget.”

The couple chose the 22nd April, 2022 for their celebration, marrying at Goldsborough Hall. Here, Emma tells us more about their big day…

How can you not be attracted to Goldsborough Hall? It’s a beautiful stately home with wonderful surroundings, and I felt like a Princess for the day.

We chose chocolate hearts for favours, presented in a white organza bag with personalised label thanking our guests for celebrating with us.

My cake was perfect; a three-tier stack of lemon, chocolate and Victoria sponge. White in decoration, it also had crystal sparkles on the top and bottom tier.

Kieran and his groomsmen looked amazing in their royal blue threepiece suits with blush pink tie and handkerchief.

Our table plan and table names were designed to match our invites; ivory pearlescent card with Champagne gold glitter border and blush pink satin bow.

I knew I wanted lots of roses and big white blooms when it came to our flowers. My florist nailed it with Playa Blanca roses, hydrangeas, ranunculi and French ruscus.

Musicians played during our guests’ arrival and throughout our drinks. They also played Kieran’s entrance song, my mum’s entrance song, and my own.

I requested that the dancefloor was never empty – and thanks to our DJ it never was, with him entertaining our guests with the perfect mix.

I asked both my grandad and stepdad to walk me down the aisle, and it was such a special moment to have with both of them. My grandad walked me to my stepdad, then my stepdad gave me away.

My bridesmaids wore A-line blush pink dresses, and my bridesman chose a blue suit with pink tie.

We surprised our guests with a mother of the bride dance. My mum’s a huge Take That fan, so we danced to Greatest Day – and my bridesman dressed up as Gary Barlow!

The best man was very kind to Kieran during his speech, but saved a video of me on the karaoke from a night out and played the video! It was a tad embarrassing, but got everyone laughing.
