The Wedding

Built with love by Beqster

Custom Search

The wedding took twelve months of planning. Because Belle and Beqster wanted a big wedding with all the trimmings, but only had an average budget, they went to a wedding show in Birmingham's NEC and bought a wedding design book.

After going through the book chapter by chapter, to ensure that they didn't overlook any part of the wedding, they divided it into sections and decided who would be responsible for each part. Then they delegated as many projects as possible to family and friends.

Beqster had to drop the idea of arriving in a helicopter, the fireworks display got axed (because of the cost of a licence) and the honeymoon to budget was halved to pay for magnificent photographers and a very special wedding album, which was published in the manner of a book.

If you don’t want to look through all 1500 photographs which were taken on the big day, just look through the “Wedding Album” which is the 60 images chosen for the book.

At the conclusion of his second contract aboard the world's most famous ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2,

Beqster planned to enjoy his "retirement" by joining Belle on the Island Princess, for a cruise around Hawaii. But on his third day aboard,

the cruise line asked Beqster if he would

assume the role of Cruise Director. This

meant spending a month with Belle and

touring the beautiful Hawaiian islands, whilst

getting paid... how could he resist?

A Hawaiian proposal had not been planned.

But with plenty of hype regarding the world

premier of a brand new Princess show,

Beqster knew that Belle, her colleagues and

an already excited audience were primed for

an emotional event. Buying flowers for the

Cast meant Beqster needed something more

impressive for the love of his life... and what

better than a proposal of marriage? Beqster

had already asked Big Al, Belle's father, for

her hand in marriage, and with his approval in the bag, it was all engines go! But would she say "Yes" in front of 900 passengers, and her closest friends?
