Nervous about an upcoming blind date? Read on.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Vicky Bye and Robert Steel, both 27, are a blind date success story! The pair met after being set up by mutual friends and after a \u201cvery short time\u201d knew they would be together forever, says Vicky. \u00a0Just a few months later they were engaged.\u00a0\u201cRob proposed by having the question written on a balloon and the ring in his other hand and, after a very nervous proposal, his face lit up when the answer was ‘yes,’\u201d she laughs.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

She adds, “It was the most magical moment knowing that the person that I had completely fallen in love with also loved me for me and had asked me to marry him.”<\/p>\n

Their\u00a0classic wedding day arrived on June 20, 2015. Vicky, the organiser, arranged a \u201ccomprehensive Excel sheet\u201d to plan<\/a> the proceedings, and\u00a0Rob\u2019s desire to incorporate his Scottish background sparked the wedding theme. \u201cRob wanted to wear a kilt and this was the basis of our colour scheme,\u201d explains Vicky. \u201cWe chose a tartan that we liked \u2013 Pride of Scotland \u2013 which gave us a lovely navy blue and purple colour scheme to work with.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

One hundred and fifty guests turned out for the occasion. The pair marked their matrimony with a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church in Penkridge followed by a reception at Rodbaston Hall in Staffordshire.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The bride surprised her groom with a honeymoon in Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n
