Sophie Ties the Knot! Our very own Sophie marries Fiancé Ken in a Classic Monochrome Affair

Of course we love all weddings here at weddingsonline but there was one particular big day this year that was the biggest of the big days for us – the day our very own Sophie tied the knot to hubby Ken!

We could go on for days about how special this wedding was, but we’ll leave it in the very capable hands of Sophie (and photographer Peter Rowen) to tell the story…
