A Summer Wedding Story 2012

We congratulate Paul & Dawn Cotterell who got married on Saturday 14th July 2012 in the beautiful Alameda Gardens in Gibraltar. They invited 35 of their closest friends & family to join them.

They chose to have their civil ceremony in the stunning Open Air Theatre followed by a finger buffet and drinks reception and then moving on to the ocean view terrace at the Caleta Hotel for a sunset wedding breakfast. They ended their evening by dancing under the stars in the hotel’s private garden.

Whether a large wedding or small with a hundred guests or none at all, no wedding is complete with a bit of cake to celebrate. Of course, wedding cake goes really well with champagne too so raise a glass to your newly wedded bliss.

Here is what the newly-weds had to say whilst on honeymoon in Portugal:

Dear Kay

What can we say Kay, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! Thank you so much for all you have done for us.

The below feedback is a testament to what you did for us and for everyone involved in our wedding in Gibraltar. It was perfect in every way from start to finish. We were in your hands and you gave us, especially Dawn, the wedding we dreamed of and for that you will always have a special place in our hearts.

You said you would pray for a lovely sunny day and that’s just what we got...I got up on our wedding morning and the sun was out and it was gorgeous, fantastic sunny day so your praying worked! Along with your fantastic gifts which we never expected at all...you made our day extra special, thank you so much.

The Open Air Theatre was fantastic...nothing was too much trouble for Pat and her team...the Theatre looked perfect. Wanda was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job...please thank her from the bottom of our hearts. Donovan was great too and we can’t wait to see the wedding photos.

Dawn looked gorgeous and her hair & make up were top class.

The staff at the Caleta Hotel looked after us very well...they were fantastic...the room and food were first class...all our guests had nothing but praise for everyone from the cleaners to the manager...they were brilliant.

We haven’t met you Kay yet but we feel very close to you. How you did it, we don’t know but you gave us the fairytale wedding we wanted and we couldn’t have asked for more. We do plan to meet and thank you in person once we’re back. We hope you can make it to our UK wedding reception in August. We are in Portugal at the moment Kay...we have another week and it's gorgeous here.

What can I say that hasn't been said already Kay, fairytale, fantastic, brilliant! You did it all for us, thank you, thank you, thank you!

We look forward to seeing our feedback and photographs on your website which should include nothing but praise for the wedding you gave us.

Love from

Dawn and Paul x
