Your North East Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 51)

Kate and Oliver celebrated in style at Tynemouth Cricket Club Images courtesy of Chocolate Chip Photography Kate and Oliver met at the University of Leeds in 2010. “We both studied law at undergraduate, and by 2011 were in the same friendship group, ending up living next door to one another in our final year,” says Kate. “Oliver agreed to be my partner for the law society debating competition, which drew us closer, and by the time we reached our end of year exam trip to Newquay we’d decided to try and ‘make a go of it’.” Eight years later, the couple went for a picnic to Bamburgh beach. “It was a hot sunny day, so I couldn’t understand why Oliver was irritated at the sands being so crowded,” continues the bride. “When he finally found a nice secluded spot and proposed, it became crystal clear why he’d kept checking and re-checking his bag for his water bottle!” The couple set the date for the 18th September, 2021, marrying at Tynemouth’s Church of the Holy Saviour before hosting a reception at Tynemouth Cricket Club.
