When Lizzi moved into the small village of Lockerley as a child, she was almost certainly unaware that her chance meeting with Tim, at the school bus stop, was set to alter her path through life. They became childhood sweethearts and journeyed into adulthood side by side to where they are now-blissfully married.
When I asked Lizzi when it was that she knew that Tim was ‘the one’, she couldn’t recall, saying that it had been too long ago to remember. Tim answered much the same, admitting that the precise moment when he knew that she was the one for him was ‘a bit of a blur’. The truth is, most likely, that Lizzi and Tim grew together from the childhood and that their hearts had entwined before their heads had a chance to recognise that they were falling in love.
When I asked them to sum each other up in three words Lizzi said that Tim was creative, attentive and stubbon(!) and Tim shared that Lizzi is generous, thoughtful and barmy. Yes, he used the word barmy…I love that. It was clearly knowing and loving these qualities in her that he felt compelled to let Lizzi know how he truly felt and it was whilst holidaying in France, overlooking the picturesque town and river, that Tim asked his best friend and soul-mate to be his wife.
In the week before Christmas, Mr.C and I had the huge privilege of documenting this beautiful day in all it’s festive wonderment. These guys had planned a romantic day with lots of sparkle and Christmas cheer and from the gentle muted pinks and greys of the bridesmaids to the glorious festive decorations scattered throughout the day – this really was a feast for the eyes and soul.
Thank you, both, for inviting us into your lives and to share this special day with you…you ended our 2015 with an absolute sparkler! xx
