How did you guys meet, tell me all?
Sam and Gabby met via Tinder while Sam was visiting his sister in Austin, Texas. Sam joined the Royal Navy and then a few dates in London and Austin later. Gabby came to the UK for her Masters degree and the rest is history.
How did you get engaged, is there a cool story?
Sam proposed on New Years Day 22, at the top of Mount Bonnell, Austin, Texas where Sam and Gabby had their first date.
What made you choose your wedding venue, did you look at many? We knew we wanted a natural garden wedding aesthetic. I originally wanted to to get married outside but once we saw the inside of the orangery we knew it was the perfect place for us. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and it is venue of my absolute dreams.
Tell me about your dress? Who was it designed by and was there a particular style you were drawn too? My dress is the fairy princess dress of my childhood dreams. I originally thought I wanted something sleek and simple but once I put on the wildcard lace off white dress I immediately burst into tears. It was a very emotional moment!
What was the inspiration/theme/styling of your wedding?
We wanted to lean into the gardens at the Orangery and the June wedding and make this wedding bright colorful and floral focuses,
What is your first song and why? Love on the Weekend by John Mayer, a song that summarizes the distances often involved in our relationship. It talks about getting ready to spend the weekend with your partner and how euphoric that feeling is. This is something that we get to experience quite a lot with Sam being in the Navy
What would be your number one tip to other couples planning their wedding?
Enjoy it, take your time, and spread the load as evenly as possible.
