How they met: The couple were childhood friends over 12 years ago. They met up again on a night out in Barrow in May 2006.

Proposal: The groom proposed on a flight to Turkey at the start of a family holiday, in front of 12 family members and a plane full of 300 holiday makers. Christopher proposed as the plane flew over Amsterdam, with the help of the captain who made the announcement before handing the microphone over to Christopher to pop the question.
