Their journey from being young primary school teachers to falling in love is enchanting, showing their love for each other through arranging a beautiful wedding which was everything they had ever dreamed of.

It all began on a crisp December night in 2018 in Portadown. Danielle, a radiant primary school teacher from Hilltown, found herself captivated by the warmth and charm of Adam, also a dedicated educator hailing from Newry. Their initial encounter sparked a connection that would blossom into a beautiful love story, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and unwavering devotion.

Fast forward to the intimate setting of their home in Liverpool on the evening of 29^th January 2021. With the country engulfed in the midst of another challenging lockdown, Adam orchestrated a heartwarming surprise for Danielle. Against the backdrop of flickering candlelight and culinary delights, he tenderly dropped to one knee and professed his everlasting love. In a moment of sheer joy and emotion, Danielle said yes, setting the stage for a lifetime of cherished memories.

With their hearts overflowing with love and anticipation, Danielle and Adam embarked on the exhilarating journey of wedding planning. From selecting the perfect wedding gown at Dresselicious in Rathfriland, which Danielle visited along with her Mum and bridesmaids, Danielle ended up trying on 11 dresses before finding ‘the one’; to curating a dream team of bridesmaids and groomsmen, every detail was meticulously crafted with love and care.

Danielle had the help of sister Rebecca, best friend Hannah and young bridesmaids: sister Sarah and Adam’s younger sisters Ellie and Hannah who all wore beautiful purple dresses which incorporated Danielle’s favourite colour and the wedding theme.

Adam was accompanied by best man and best friend Carl, groomsman and cousin Craig and brother Christopher as junior groomsman, they also had three ushers: Danielle’s brothers Matthew and James and Adam’s uncle Kenton. The grooms party hired suits from Louis Boyd in Newry.

On the picturesque day of 4^th August 2023, Danielle and Adam exchanged vows of eternal love amidst the stunning backdrop of Canal Court Hotel and Spa in Newry, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they revelled in the joy of each moment, savouring the magic of the celebration. Embraced by the hues of purple, their favourite colour symbolising devotion, the couple embarked on a journey of marital bliss.

As they reminisce about their fairytale wedding, Danielle and Adam are filled with gratitude and joy. From the tender moments shared at the altar to the infectious energy of the dance floor, every aspect of their special day remains etched in their hearts forever. With no regrets or hesitations, they look forward to embracing the adventure of married life, hand in hand, with love as their guiding light. They gave this advice to other couples planning their own wedding “It is your special day, so don’t let other people’s opinions get in the way of that. We would also highly recommend a wedding planner book, we found this incredibly helpful to note info in, refer back to and jot down appointments etc. Enjoy and have fun, the planning and your wedding itself, truly is over before you know it!”
