As many of you may already know, once you are a TDR Bride, you join our family! We have our private Facebook group for TDR BRIDES ONLY, we chat every single day, we laugh, we cry and most importantly we support each other along every single step of the way and it is just beautiful!

So, to get to know our brides and their fiancé’s a little more, we asked them to share their proposal story and many of them, so kindly did! And WOW…we were definitely brought to tears with some of these stories, they are absolutely beautiful and we would LOVE to share them with you!

Laura’s Proposal Story…

We were in New York. It was my birthday on the penultimate day and he had planned to propose then, but I had a very laid back view of how I’d like the day to go so wasn’t in a hurry to get anywhere. I just wanted to soak up New Yorker life (unbeknownst to me he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to propose 😂) so that day comes and goes and it’s our final day.

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria and our suite was beautiful, but I was having a little cry in the morning 😂😂 mostly because I had the sorest back, I’ve never suffered from a bad back before or since but it was so sore whilst we were away so I was crying. I was a bit jet lagged and I was also a bit sad that he hadn’t bought me a birthday card 🙈 (am I the only one who likes a good card??)

So I’m having this moment, sat in my Jurassic Park pyjamas being a baby 😂 (in hindsight I can laugh about it but at the time I was very sad ha!!) and he’s trying to console me, distracting me with the plans for the day and apologising for not getting me a card, where out of no where, he lays down on the bed with me, apologises again for not getting me a card, but tells me ‘I did get you this’ and there was the most beautiful ring I’d ever seen…and I cried some more half hysterically laughing 😂😂😂 best memory ever ❤️


Thank you SO much to each and every one of our brides for sharing your beautiful stories with us. We have absolutely loved reading them and we are SO excited to continue with you on this magical journey from Miss to Mrs 💓💓💓
