Our Story

The Wedding Website of Charlotte Platt and Andrew Owen
In September 2017, Charlotte and Andrew's paths crossed at the University of Chester. What started as a casual friendship soon blossomed into something truly special. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and before they knew it, years had flown by. Together, they've celebrated numerous milestones. Both of them proudly graduated from university, took the big step of buying their first home, and welcomed Barney, their adorable sausage dog into their family. Last August, Andrew finally got down on one knee and asked Charlotte to marry him

The Proposal

The Wedding Website of Charlotte Platt and Andrew Owen
Andrew had arranged a surprise night stay at The Carbis Bay Hotel and Spa in Cornwall for Charlotte's Birthday. Having spent many holidays in Cornwall with her family, Charlotte often mentioned her dream of staying at Carbis Bay Hotel someday. On the 13th of August 2024, they spent a lovely day at the spa before heading for dinner. During which Charlotte noticed Andrew checking the weather, talking about how he hoped it would clear up, strange as it was already evening! Later, Andrew suggested a walk on the beach - a surprising suggestion given his dislike for sand in his shoes. Luckily, the rain had stopped. Charlotte was then led onto the beach with her eyes covered, to reveal "Marry Me" written in lights and Andrew down by her side on one knee. She said yes! Andrew poured the champagne, and they were soon joined by her Dad and Barney to celebrate. After sharing the joyous news with loved ones via FaceTime, they enjoyed the sun set by candlelight, marking the end of a perfect day.
