Soldiers Surprise Wedding
A surprise on your wedding day usually consists of a lovely gift from your new partner or perhaps finding rose petals thrown around your honeymoon suite, it doesn’t normally begin with a proposal of marriage followed by a surprise wedding then and there!
Forty six year old Colin Dawson is a Staff Sergeant in the Royal Signals. Colin was visiting his family in Criccieth in Gwynedd for his mother’s birthday with his girlfriend, fifty three year old Vikki Galloway, when he sprang a surprise proposal on her. Vikki states that she thought she and Colin would be going out to lunch and on the drive to the restaurant, the car was stopped at the nearby church and Vikki was asked to visit a family friend’s grave. During the walk through the church yard, Colin asked her to be his wife and after responding ‘yes’, Vikki found herself right in the middle of a surprise wedding which Colin had been secretly arranging during his tour in Afghanistan.
Their family and friends were already waiting at St Michael’s church located in Treflys, near Porthmadog where the couple were married by Reverend Sue Williams.
Colin and Vikki live together in Cambridgeshire and after the wedding, Colin returned to his tour of duty in Kabul in Afghanistan.
