When the going got tough for Naomi and Janoux, their families and the love they have for one another kept them going.<\/p>\n

Having met as teenagers, their first mutual annoyance turned into a beautiful friendship before they realised they could be something more.<\/p>\n

“We were friends for a long time and I tried to make it obvious I was looking for more than just friendship! About a year later he caught on and asked me to be his girlfriend,\u201d the bride recalls with a laugh.<\/p>\n

That was the beginning of the couple’s seven-year dating period where they journeyed through college, gap year, university and grad jobs.<\/p>\n

“We travelled to different parts of the world together and had extended periods of time where our relationship was long-distance,” recalls Naomi.<\/p>\n

“When Janoux proposed on a beautiful September evening in Richmond Park, we were so happy at the thought of finally being together all the time and beginning a life together.”<\/p>\n

That was not the end of their love story however as Janoux started a new job working almost all weekend whereas Naomi worked weekdays.<\/p>\n

“Our families rallied around us and stepped in to help when we were exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed from all the change that was about to happen,” explains Naomi.<\/p>\n

After months of excitement and planning every detail ourselves, on a beautiful sunny day in August the loved-up pair tied the knot in the presence of 120 of their closest family and friends<\/p>\n

“I loved going to the garden centre to pick out the flowers for the bouquets with my mum and future mum-in-law. We would find inspiration online and then the staff there were super helpful in making our vision come to life,” praises Naomi of her florist, Longacres<\/a>, Surrey’s largest garden centre.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
