I of course told her to stop being so ridiculous,&#8221; Naomi, also 29, recalls.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, James came to stay with the housemates and, while the connection wasn&#8217;t instant, Naomi loved his humour &#8211; and his height! &#8220;Six foot seven, heels wouldn&#8217;t be a problem,&#8221; she jokes. Within a month the pair\u00a0were on a mini-break to Paris and &#8220;have lived in each other&#8217;s pockets ever since.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>James proposed on the beach at Naomi&#8217;s &#8220;favourite place,&#8221; a seaside town in Cornwall where her family has been going all her life.\u00a0Naomi, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and James, from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire then began planning their classic English wedding.<\/p>\n<p>The couple wed on August 10, 2013 at St Martin&#8217;s in Stubton, Lincolnshire in front of 70 friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Every classic wedding needs a grand manor, and the couple opted on stately <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/Lincolnshire\/StubtonHall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stubton Hall<\/a>\u00a0to host their reception celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>The manicured gardens were the perfect setting\u00a0for the couple&#8217;s photographs and, inside, the reception room was elegantly adorned with neutral decor and large floral centrepieces from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingFlowers\/Nottinghamshire\/Vaas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vaas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Naomi took on the wedding planning duties herself and says she doesn&#8217;t regret a second.\u00a0&#8220;I enjoyed every moment of planning my wedding and don&#8217;t regret the hours I poured into organising it,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geoffkirbyphotography.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Geoff Kirby Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img
