I’ve stood before countless couples exchanging their wedding vows but until I met Elaine, I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be saying “I do.”

However, two days before we were due to fly out for our holiday in Tunisia I asked her parents for their blessing to marry their daughter. It was a nerve racking experience but it needn’t have been because they were great: “We hope she says, yes!” they both said. And so do I.

I hid the ring in a compartment of my camera bag, flew out to the sun, lazed around by the pool, and proposed mid-week after a fantastic meal. Thankfully, she said yes and now we’re planning for our wedding!

No 1 on our list… finding a great wedding filmmaker!!
