Abi: “I LOVED the Flexibility to Choose Exactly What I Wanted”
Boho Bride Abi had been with Kev for 10 years when they moved in to their first home together.
Not long after moving in, the pair were covered in paint, decorating their new home, and Kev popped upstairs, called Abi up, and presented her with her Nanny’s ring and a big, big question!
The relaxed wedding took place in Newquay, Cornwall, on 1st June, 2021, when Covid restrictions were still in place, and wedding parties could be a maximum size of 30 people.

“We spent our wedding night at the Lewinnick, which was beautiful!
“We’re hoping to celebrate again, but even though our day was different to the one we’d planned to have, we don’t feel like we missed out on much!”
