“I feel old just saying this… But Paul and I met through the Myspace of his band in 2008,” says bride Emilie-Rose.<\/p>\n

While Paul resided in the UK, Emilie-Rose lived with her family in France. The pair spoke every night for a year before Paul, 36, closed the gap with a trip to see her.<\/p>\n

“The distance wasn’t easy. We were always missing each other, but that made every moment spent together even more special,” explains Emilie-Rose, now 31. “In 2014 I left my job, my family, my friends and my life in Paris to come live with Paul in York. And now every day I just feel so happy to wake up by his side.”<\/p>\n

With 80 guests in attendance on May 11, 2018 Emilie-Rose and Paul tied the knot, celebrating the coming together of French and English culture at Bolton Castle in Wensleydale, Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

With half the medieval castle intact and the rest in ruins, Bolton Castle<\/a> proved to be the perfect setting for the enchanted woodland wedding.<\/p>\n

“We’re both very much into history and everything magical and ethereal. With Bolton Castle, it was love at first sight.”<\/p>\n

The pair decorated the venue themselves, keeping it minimalistic with ivy garlands and moss to allow the medieval venue to shine.<\/p>\n

Emilie-Rose believes her attire perfectly reflected her personality. “Nice and well behaved on the outside but a touch of craziness when you look deeper,” she says of her blue glitter\u00a0Irregular Choice<\/a> bridal shoes hidden beneath her lace gown purchased from The Harrogate Wedding Lounge<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
