Jasmine and Stephen tied the knot at Guildford Register Office followed by a reception at The Weyside

Jasmine and Stephen met through a mutual friend on a night out in Croydon. “It was far from love at first sight,” says Jasmine. “In fact, Stephen thought I was a bit stuck up, and to be honest, I don’t think I said two words to him that night, so it’s no wonder his first impression wasn’t a great one! We met again on New Year’s Eve the following month, and again, there was no love story. We went out as part of a large group in Bournemouth and barely remembered saying hello or goodbye to each other. Less than a month later, we ended up on another night out together. I had dyed my hair back to brunette, which apparently made me Stephen’s type. He spent most of the night trying to figure out how to make his move. We finally exchanged numbers and had our first date a week later, and the rest is history!” 

Stephen proposed on Thursday 22nd August, 2019, at the Prince Edward Theatre. “We had been together almost eight years, and he spent months planning the most private, intimate and personal proposal,” shares the bride. “We had a private box with the best seats in the house, VIP refreshments complete with champagne on ice, a private bar, canapés and even a butler! He asked me the question during the interval of Aladdin, and two days later, we organised a surprise engagement party where we announced the news to all our friends and family.”
