Dan and Bella first set eyes on each other in 2009. For Bella, it was love at first sight, but she had to be patient because Dan didn’t fall until eighteen months later when they started dating officially just as they were finishing high school.
Over the last 11+ years Bella and Dan have experienced university life, first grown-up jobs, and now have a home together with the love of their life, Pickles the Frenchie.
On a winter's night in Clare during the pandemic, Dan realised that his knee could bend and asked Bella to marry him. Bella thought it was a joke at first but Dan assured her it wasn't and followed up the question with the ring of her dreams.

What was your favourite part of Sparrow’s Management service?
Aisle Planner was a huge help, in particular the checklist (although I must say I'm not sad that I won't be getting anymore notifications of what I have to do). Emma herself was also amazing and completely understood the brief.
What are your fondest memories of your wedding day?
Can I say the whole day? Definitely walking down the aisle, and also seeing how the whole look came together.
What was the best decision you made when planning the wedding? Any advice for future couples?
It was a good decision to have a first look. I highly recommend it, you have so much more time to spend with your guests later on.
