bells ring: Luisa and Ronan&#8217;s winter wonderland wedding"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">What began as schoolyard teasing turned into lasting love for Luisa Lombardi and Ronan Wheeler.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He spent the first two or three years of school winding me up and picking on me, which probably added to the attraction,&#8221; Luisa, 25, recalls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were both emos and into rock <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music<\/a> and that&#8217;s how we connected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seven years later on a weekend away, Ronan, 24, popped the question. &#8220;It was the perfect proposal, no one in sight and I had no idea,&#8221; Luisa says.<\/p>\n<p>The Cheshunt, Hertfordshire pair set their hearts on a winter wonderland wedding and married at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/Essex\/DownHallCountryHouseHotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Down Hall Country House Hotel<\/a> on December 6, 2015 in front of 100 friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>White, blue and silver hues were a constant theme throughout the wedding to create the winter feel.\u00a0&#8220;It was amazing to see our winter wonderland theme come together, it really was magical and not tacky in any way,&#8221; Luisa says.<\/p>\n<p>The couple\u00a0list the day&#8217;s biggest moment as seeing each other for the first time, it helped that Luisa walked down the aisle to a song Ronan had composed for her in year 10.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had come so far and shared so much together that becoming husband and wife completes our love story,&#8221; Luisa says.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nehweddingphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Neal Houghton
