Confessions of a shape-up bride

See all the wedding pics from our resident My Special K blogger Emma and her fiancé Dave when they tied-the-knot in sunny Croatia...

Emma and Dave - In the beginning

It was as easy as ABC when sales executive and resident My Special K blogger Emma met online traffic manager Dave on a night out at university back in 2005. “All of his friends were offering to buy me drinks,” recalls Emma. “He was quiet, interesting and by far the best looking! It really was love at first sight!”

Fast forward five and a half years to New Year’s Eve 2010 when Dave proposed, “he took me for a walk on the beach with my dog Holly and wrote ‘will you marry me?’ in the sand. He got down on one knee and presented me with his Grandma’s engagement ring; it was so romantic.”
