“When we first got together Mark was in the army and did a tour of Afghan which was really hard.

“When our daughter, Elena, was almost one Mark took redundancy from the army as it was getting harder to be away midweek as he was based down south.

“The night Mark proposed, he took me to my favourite restaurant Sapori, but he was so nervous the whole night so I guessed what he was up to!”

On the day itself, they surprised guests with singing waiters ‘Sing while you’re Waiting’ during the wedding breakfast.
