Story
Here is a snippet of their story, which won the judges over, and resulted in them being selected as Round Two winners, for the Food & Drink Package!
Emily & Andrew
I was born on my grandparents pearl wedding anniversary 21st September, 26 years later we were expecting our first child to be born on the same day.
We collected the keys to our first home on the anniversary of my grandmother’s death and we received the phonecall from Bespoke on the day of my grandfather’s funeral. Now my grandparents are reunited forever and Andrew and I can follow in their footsteps.
The 8th May 2018 we officially became a couple, on our year anniversary we had our 20 week scan. To celebrate we had a gender reveal party where Andrew proposed in front of all our friends and family. It was a truly beautiful day.
Now we get to have the wedding we dreamed of thanks to Bespoke and can look on all our memories with happiness.
Upon finding out Emily & Andrew had won Round Two they said;
.
“We would like to thank Maria and Bespoke for everything they have done for us. We are still in shock from winning round 2 and can’t wait to celebrate our big day. Bespoke together with Barnsdale have allowed us to have the wedding that we want and have worked so hard for us to achieve that especially during these uncertain times.”
Here’s what the couple had to say after their big day;
.
“We would like to thank everybody at Bespoke for providing us with such an amazing opportunity. We were lucky enough to win round 1 and 2 of the competition and literally cannot get over how blessed we have been. Barnsdale Lodge is such a beautiful venue, it was everything we were looking for and fitted our style perfectly. The staff were again so accommodating and patient with us particularly throughout the pandemic. Everything that we wanted and asked for happened and nothing seemed too small. Thank you Barnsdale for such an amazing day. One that will be in our memories forever.”
