A Tipi Wedding in a Rustic Yorkshire Venue

Despite the rain, Katie and Sam remained easygoing, not letting the weather dampen their spirits. Their focus was on the joy of finally tying the knot and celebrating with their families and friends. Katie was excited to take the Dowling name, joining Sam and their sons in unity. The anticipation for their first dance was palpable, with Rory particularly thrilled, as the chosen song held a special place in their hearts—Rory used to sing it all the time when he was younger.
