CRESSBROOK HALL WEDDING COMPETITION WINNERS.
JACK MALLENDER & GEMMA DICKENS
15th June 2017.
CONGRATULATIONS…
Jack & Gemma won their dream wedding at Cressbrook Hall after entering the Bespoke Win a Wedding Competition. The prize included Exclusive Use of Cressbrook Hall, and a Food & Drinks Package!
Jack proposed to Gemma on a romantic long weekend in Venice. He wanted to propose on a bridge, but knew Gemma would be embarrassed by any public attention, so after spending hours searching for the right spot he finally found one; not the most picturesque, but quiet and with a view of the sea.
He got down on one knee and thrust a ring towards Gemma, and of course, she said yes! A few moments after, they realised the bridge was actually the entrance to a military base and they had been scrutinized by the guard the whole time!!
That evening Jack took Gemma to the finest restaurant in Venice that he could find. They enjoyed an excellent meal, only to realise at the end of it that Jack had left his wallet back at the hotel!!
As it was late, there were no aqua busses or gondolas to ferry him across the Grand Canal and walking around to a bridge would have taken hours. So he had to take a water taxi. The boat pulled up at moorings outside the restaurant and whisked him away into the night- it was exactly like a scene from a Bond film!
Jack said: “The experience was so breathtaking that I insisted the taxi wait so that Gemma could experience it too. The combined trips back and forth ended up costing significantly more than the meal, but that mistake turned into one of the most memorable events of the whole trip, second only to securing the heart of the woman I love of course!”
