Stephen and Linda Gardner have pleasure in announcing the wedding of their eldest daughter, Miss Amy Cara Gardner formerly of Newton Aycliffe to Mr Lee Michael Atkinson, formerly of Aycliffe Village.
Amy, a QC Shift Team Leader for Huntsman Chemicals and Lee an IT Workflow Coordinator for ATOS first met when they were both young and attended the Christian Life Centre after school club and they remained friends into their adult life. After a two year courtship, Lee proposed to Amy whilst on holiday on the Greek island of Kos on the 17th May 2016, two years to the day they were to be married.
The wedding took place on the 17th May 2018 at the Croft Spa Hotel, Croft on Tees at 1pm. The Bride and Groom were attended by Miss Stephanie Gardner; Amy’s sister and Chief Bridesmaid and Mr Ben Atkinson, Lee’s brother and Best Man.
Family and guests from various regions of the UK, USA and Spain attended and a good time was had by all, with the couple and guests dancing into the night and enjoying sampling the 3 wedding cakes on offer; a 3-tier mixed sponge cake, 3-tiers of Pork Pie and a 4-tier tower of cheeses.
The couple honeymooned for a fortnight in St. Lucia and will reside in Rushyford Drive, Chilton.
The couple are wished much love and happiness for the future from both families.
