On 29th February 2016 my partner of 11 years finally proposed ? and did it in such a fab, geeky way that I was completely blown away and so it seemed was everyone else!

Paul’s proposal to me ended up in all the UK national papers and was also featured on The Knot, a NYC based wedding website.

The news also trended on Twitter for a couple of days worldwide. It was absolutely crazy! ?
After all the excitement calmed down we had a chat about where to get married. Neither of us wanted a big wedding, and we already had a big family wedding coming up, my son Olly was getting married to his long term girlfriend Tony. We thought for a while and eventually decided that we wanted to get married somewhere we both love ❤️, In a simple straightforward ceremony, with no fuss. City Hall NYC for the bill perfectly ?
We got married on 26th August last month ? It was really easy to arrange and an absolutely wonderful day. I’ve posted some pics below. I’m going to write a follow up blogpost soon about how to organise a stress free wedding in NYC ?
