W
e met in the summer of 2001 whilst on holiday in Tenerife with separate groups of friends. Ben grew up with our mutual friend Keren Hayes (who was also one fifth of our bridesmaids) and as Keren was a school friend of Nicole’s and part of the group that Nicole travelled to Tenerife with , she introduced them both. As the two groups lived close together in the UK we all kept in touch. We (Ben & Nicole) went a few dates when we got back to the UK but decided to just be friends when we went off to university. After Nicole finished university we started dating again in 2004 and have been together ever since. Malta was the first place where we went abroad on holiday together. We stayed in melleiha and had a such a great week that it still remains our favourite holiday together. To us, Malta has it all...sunshine, lovely people, great food and the fact that its a small island just makes it easier to visit all different parts. Whenever we discussed the future and possibly getting married we always talked about how great it would be to get married in Malta. So when Ben proposed there was only one choice for where to tie the knot. We flew out to Malta in May 2012 to meet Sarah Young The Wedding Planner based in Malta, and look at a few venues that we had chosen to visit. The Garden Villa was the first venue that we saw and we knew immediately that this was the venue we wanted. The villa itself, the gardens, the conservatory were all perfect and we were excited to think that we could get married there. The planning was made so easy due to Sarah and her team. She looked after every single detail, even those that we hadn’t thought about! All of our questions were answered quickly and efficiently and we don’t know what we would have done without her. The wedding day itself was perfect. The weather, the setting, the food, and having our friends and family with us in Malta made it the most amazing experience. All of our friends and family have told us how much fun the day was and we must give a special mention to DJ TT who was great and who kept us partying till the early hours www.weddingsandoccasions.co.uk
