The couple: Cardiff marketing assistant Eleanor Waters, 36, and supervisor Motiejus Caplikas, 30. They both work at Castle Leisure. The venue: The ceremony was held at the couple’s local church – Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Pontllanfr­aith. The service was followed by an evening party at Maes Manor in Blackwood. How they met: The couple met at work and their romance has continued to blossom ever since. The proposal: The pair got engaged in December 2016.

They changed their wedding plans quite a lot, and then Eleanor was lucky enough to fall pregnant for the second time.

Huxley turned one in October and their daughter Indigo was born in April. The wedding was then held in May.

Eleanor said: “We always knew we would be together forever and we had recently had a son.

“I love all things vintage and antique so my ring came from Cardiff Market and we got engaged at Christmas after taking Huxley to see Santa.

“We were sat under the fairy lights then Mot took my hand, showed me the ring and said ‘will you marry me?.’

“I kind of knew it was coming, but I still cried with the emotion of hearing those words from someone you love.” The wedding: The bride said the day was romantic, emotional and full of love.

She said: “I know it’s a wedding day so that’s what you would expect, but having our two children with us and our few closest friends and family made it so much more personable and intimate. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

“My brother Ryan was our photograph­er.

“The photos are wonderful – a perfect mixture of posed and snapshot moments.”

Eleanor said the ceremony was relaxed and heartfelt and the couple carried their children in their arms as they walked back down the aisle.

Their first dance, as a family of four, was to Everlastin­g Love – then they just partied.

“Huxley totally stole the show on the dance floor with his moves and captivatin­g smile,” added Eleanor.

“While Indigo enchanted everyone who held her and was content throughout.” The honeymoon: The couple are yet to jet off on honeymoon.

For now, they are enjoying their time as newlyweds with their children.
