Real life engagement photos- Hannah & Brett

Hannah is one of my very close friends we have known each other since we were babies and even studied together in America, she had some gorgeous engagement photos taken in England at Camber Sands in Rye.  She is also sharing their "love story" just because I think it is sooo cute!






In 2006 I decided to come out to Brigham Young University to study in America, and the first weekend that I was out here I met my husband. We were at a party in a cabin up in mountains and I was looking for something to drink in the kitchen, as I walked in Brett and his friends were drinking the last can of drink. To give you a little context it took about three hours to get to this cabin, there was no running water and that was the LAST drink there. I was not too happy about this, but it definitely sparked up a conversation. They soon realised that I was from England, and Brett had just got back from his mission in England, so we started trying to see if we knew the same people…turns out Brett served his mission in my grandparents ward, and knew my aunts and uncles. I liked him that first night we met, and after the cabin it was a few months before we saw each other again. During those months I had been emailing my auntie trying to find out as much as I could about Brett, and he was emailing my auntie doing the exact same thing. We hung out for a while, and eventually went out on our first date in December 2006….the rest is history. We dated for a long long time, and were eventually engaged in May 2010, Brett flew out to England and proposed to me at Leeds Castle in Kent.



We then started the long process of applying for visas to make our love legal J I finally was able to marry my best friend in the Salt Lake City Temple on 2nd December 2010.

Real life brides to be- Hannah

Ok so we have seen real life weddings (& will continue too) and tips and ideas from me, but thought it would be a good idea to follow along with some "real brides-to-be" to hear about their experiences and tips they want to share with all of you! I am really excited to get to know these brides-to-be and first up we have Hannah here is her story:-

        • Our Story:
          Rob and I first met at the end of April last year. I had just decided to take time out of school in America and had all these big plans to be single for the next year and travel and work and get rich...but I think it is safe to say - like most things in life - nothing happened according to plan! The day after I got home I begrudgingly agreed to go on a double blind date with one of my friends. Don't get me wrong, even tho my plan was to be single for the year I was still totally up for going on dates..just not blind ones! Having been on more than my fair share of blind dates and knowing how awkward and cringey they can be it is safe to say I wasn't too keen! But I decided despite my past experiences I was gonna have fun on this date and it was an opportunity to make new friends if nothing else!
          When we first met on the date Rob was quite shy - probably because I was not being very shy at all and called him the wrong name right after I asked a second time what his name was again ha! Thankfully he was not too put off by this and we ended up having a lot of fun together that weekend! I didn't have a phone at the time so for the following week we messaged back and forth on good old Facebook until the next weekend when we ended up going to the same event. I guess you could say it was this weekend that changed everything - we had our first kiss and spent the whole weekend getting to know each other better and having fun! About 2 weeks later we were officially an item and on the day of our 9 month 'anniversary' of dating Rob proposed!! We are getting married 30th June 2012 and we are so so excited to share our special day with all the people we love!
