\"06-Jun-Lauren-Rose\"<\/p>\n

Congrats to Lauren and Rose\u00a0who’ve been crowned our June<\/a>\u00a0Wedding of the Month winners!
\n<\/em>They are in the running for a second honeymoon\u00a0to Italy’s ‘green heart’, Umbria<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

From the moment they met, Lauren\u00a0Cartwright and Rose\u00a0Cunliffe knew that “this was it”.<\/p>\n

“It was both obvious to us and everyone else around us,” Lauren, 24, says of meeting Rose, 26, online three years ago.<\/p>\n

“It was a once in a lifetime love.”<\/p>\n

Rose popped the question<\/a> on the night the couple moved in together and, after first thinking they would wait a while, they stumbled on their perfect venue and began planning their relaxed elegant wedding.<\/p>\n

They walked down the aisle at\u00a0The West Mill, Darley Abbey, Derbyshire in front of 100 friends and family on February 16, 2017.<\/p>\n

Seventy more guests joined in the evening celebrations at the same venue. Music was a centrepiece of the celebrations – the Notingham couple had walked down the aisle to a song recorded by Rose and a motown band kept everyone entertained in the evening.<\/p>\n

“No words can actually describe the day, there was just a special feeling that everyone was feeding off,” Lauren says.<\/p>\n

“People tell you \u2018you will meet someone and they will change your life in a instant\u2019 this couldn\u2019t be more true.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve not had it easy we\u2019ve faced challenges and done so together and that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s all easy now but we\u2019ve come a hell of a way,” Lauren says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
