Venue | Stradey Park Hotel, Llanelli, South Wales
Couple | Gareth and Karys
Tell us how you first met? who what when where why? give us the dirty details.
Gareth – I started work at Asda where Karys was a supervisor. It took 3 years of flirting, raised eyebrows and winks (she thought I had a twitch of some sort!) . It was only when I left the UK to do some charity work that she thought she’d give me a go. A couple of dates later and we were away!
Karys – We first met when we both worked in Asda. Gareth was taken on as a Christmas temp and I worked there as a checkout runner. Gareth asked me out afew times and our first date didn’t go too brilliantly and I thought we should remain friends. Gareth accepted this graciously(or so I thought. Lol) but my friend Mandy convinced me that I should give him another chance. That was roughly 5 years ago now and who would have thought that when we first met Gareth would turn out to be the love of my life.
When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?, etc.
Gareth – It was about a year before we started going out when I saw her being all lovely and comforting to a lost child and I thought ‘Awwww’! I pretty much couldn’t stop thinking about her (not in a stalkery way!)
Karys – I knew Gareth was the one when he could make me laugh, make me mad at him, want to kill him and want to love him all at the same time. He always made me feel special and adored, he would walk down into work on his day off just to talk to me for 5 minutes or turn up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers if he thought I was feeling abit down. He still does that to this day and that shows that he is a genuinely special and thoughtful person
Tell us about the proposal.
Gareth – We flew to Rome for a friends wedding and despite missing one opportunity at the Piazza Navona I got the perfect moment at the Pantheon as the sune set and an Opera singer kicked in!
Karys – We had gone to Rome to celebrate Joy & Jeremy’s wedding. It was a really wonderful time, lots of sightseeing and spending time with Gareth’s good friends. We had had gone out for a lovely meal and were sitting outside a little restaurant in the Piazza De Rotunda, sipping on cocktails and listening to a man who had suddenly burst out singing some opera (and by the way he was very good). I could see that Gareth was looking increasingly nervous and then he pulled out a box from his pocket, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him and as you all know I said Yes.
Tell is the one thing you love most about each other.
Gareth– She’s genuinely one of the most caring, loving, strong, intelligent and beautiful women on the planet. And she has a cracking singing voice.
Karys – I love how much Gareth loves. Watching him with our daughter Ava sometimes, how he plays with her, cuddles her and talks to her it has brought me to tears because he is such a wonderful father and they have a mutual adoration society thing going on. I feel so lucky that I fell in love with this man, who might not be perfect but tries to be the best person he can be and learns from his mistakes. What more could anyone ask for.
Besides getting married – whats the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day?
Gareth – Seeing our friends and family as happy to be in our company as we are in each others.
Karys – I’m looking forward to the whole day and am going to soak every second of the day in. Everyone coming are people we love and want to spend our day with and I can’t wait to see them all. I can’t wait to see Ava in her dress and running around and just enjoying herself and seeing the venue all decorated & how everything has come together. I know the question says one thing but hey what excited bride could say only one.
