Katy and Oliver met as students working in the local social club bar. They soon became friends and two years later their relationship blossomed into a beautiful romance!
While on holiday in Placa De Catalunya, Barcelona, on one knee pretending to snap a photo of Katy, Oliver pulled the engagement ring out of his bag. “Hold on I just need to ask you something,” he said to a completely taken aback Katy. He asked her to marry him, and she was so shocked she didn't answer at first! It took a repeat of the question for her to accept. “Our 10 year anniversary was later in the year, so Katy was expecting me to propose then,” Oliver explains.
As a child, Oliver was a chorister at Liverpool Cathedral and believed it would be the perfect place to marry. “We both wanted a religious ceremony and an iconic Liverpool landmark, so the Cathedral really was our dream venue,” Oliver shares. For their ensuing celebrations, the couple chose The Racquet Club since they were looking for a central location. “We loved the size of the venue, and the fact it was also a hotel, so our bridal party could stay the night of the wedding,” Oliver explains. “It was lovely to wake up the next day and all have a breakfast together and reflect on our wedding the day before.”
