Erika & Chris
THE HAPPY COUPLE
Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal
We met during the peak of the lockdown during 2020. While our first dates certainly weren't traditional, mainly grocery shopping and sitting on the opposite side of benches in the park, they were filled with so much laughter and love that we knew we had found something truly special. We have many shared interests, most of which involve sitting on the sofa in front of a tv, but we also enjoy heading out together on day trips and meeting up with friends. In mid-2022 while on a trip back to Northern Ireland for Chris's 30th birthday, he received the greatest birthday gift he could imagine in Erika agreeing to marry him.
YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY
Ceremony
We got married in the Sacred Heart Church in Ballyclare. It was a beautiful ceremony, filled with our family and friends who travelled from England, America, and the Philippines to spend the day with us. It was, for the most part a very traditional ceremony, but with a little bit of a Philippine twist to make it extra special.
What made you choose The Loft to host your day?
We were planning from Cambridge so at first, we were only able to look online. We checked out a bunch of places but whenever we found The Loft, we knew that it was the place we wanted, it was love at first sight.
Favourite memory of your Wedding
The whole day was incredible, from the moment we set foot in the church until we retired from the dance floor. Everything ran so smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We just went wherever we needed to be and the staff at The Loft handled the rest.
