Lauren and Luke tied the knot on their 15th anniversary at Lythe Hill Hotel

Lauren and Luke met in June 2006 at work. “My friend asked me to cover her shift, and we were put together in the same section,” says Lauren. “Luke later asked my friend what shifts I worked so he could keep seeing me. He eventually asked me out, and the rest is history.”

Luke proposed during a trip to Rome to celebrate Lauren’s 30th birthday. “We stayed near the Spanish steps, and every night after dinner, we would get gelato nearby,” shares the bride. “We would walk to the fountain and sit eating our desserts. On the last evening, he asked me to be his wife. I was surprised but thankful it was quiet and just the two of us. I had always wanted an emerald ring, so he proposed with a temporary ring, and on our 13th anniversary, we went to Brighton and picked the most gorgeous antique ring with two diamonds.”
