From one jaw-dropping\u00a0setting to another, Bolton Wanderers fan, Oliver Syddall,\u00a0has wowed loved ones with some incredible\u00a0views.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Oliver first met Lara Crombie in the local pub and after charming his way into a date, would later propose on the 27th floor of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, in its aptly-named Skyview Bar. \u201cOnce we were seated in our window seat with a view over Dubai\u2026 Oli proposed,\u201d says Lara, 36. \u201cIt was a fantastic surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast forward to May 1, 2015 and the Bolton pair, along with 62 guests, would be enjoying an altogether different view at their Macron Stadium wedding.\u00a0 Their nuptials, held at the stadium\u2019s Whites Hotel included an awe-inspiring\u00a0vista of the pitch below, leading into lots of unique and meaningful photo opportunities in and around the grounds.<\/p>\n

An elegantly styled reception at the Brookfield Masonic Hall followed, with 140 guests joining them for the evening celebrations. \u201cWe wanted our day to be relaxed with all the people we love and care about,\u201d says Lara.<\/p>\n

This generosity\u00a0shone through in donations to The Christie as the couple’s wedding favours.\u00a0“We both have close relations that have had to attend Christies and wanted to give a little back to say thank you,\u201d explains the bride.<\/p>\n

And despite Lara saying she was a \u201cbag of nerves at the ceremony,\u201d her advice to other couples: \u201cDon\u2019t sweat the small stuff – and relax!\u201d<\/p>\n

Once it was over, the couple headed back to where it all began \u2013 Dubai – to soak up more amazing views on their\u00a0honeymoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
