They say it's best to be friends first but we all know it rarely works out like that. Laura and Paul however proved it is possible.
After meeting at just eight years old, the pair have undisputed history. Yet it was not all plain sailing. At fourteen Paul had to move away with his parents causing him to be separated from Laura and it wasn't until 2004 that the pair were reunited again.
At this point they were quick to strike up a relationship which rapidly progressed into a proposal.
On August 29, 2009 the couple tied the knot in North Devon. The service held at Holy Trinity Church was followed by a reception at the lovely Northcote Manor, Umberleigh.
Having moved to Devon four years ago from Derbyshire, the pair now have a strong affinity to the sea and decided that it was only fair to incorporate such a theme into the wedding.
With seashells in the flowers, shell and seagull table decorations and beach themed wedding stationary it is safe to say they achieved their goal.
