It was there, while enjoying a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls, Andrew popped the question.<\/p>\n<p>The Maidenhead couple, both now 32, married on April 6, 2018 with a ceremony at St. Anne&#8217;s Church in Wandsworth and a reception for 140 guests at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/LondonCity\/MordenHall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morden Hall<\/a> in South London.<\/p>\n<p>Their love of travel translated into the day through a travel-themed raffle for the wedding favours.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each guest had a wallet-sized card with a map of the world, a number and a poem. During the speeches, we drew a number from a jar and that person won a trip for two to Europe &#8211; courtesy of BuyaGift. Sometimes favours are forgotten or left behind so we wanted something special that one of our guests could treasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for their next trip away, the newlyweds say they&#8217;re off to New Zealand!<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Lynsey Grace Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lynseygracephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Lynsey Grace
