First wedding held at 19th century folly Appley Tower
A beautiful and recently refurbished 19th century tower on the Isle of Wight is now available for weddings. The first wedding was held at Appley Tower in Ryde on Sunday, May 25. Paulo and Lois from Buckinghamshire were the happy couple. Celebrant Elaine Cesar said it was a "complete honour and privilege taking the ceremony for this gorgeous couple". She explained: "Lois and Paulo approached me last summer, wanting a romantic beach wedding. "Quite by coincidence, I found out that the tower was refurbished and had recently opened. "I contacted Dawn and Jenna from Monkton Arts, and they were over the moon with the idea of a wedding. "After sending photographs, Lois and Paulo were so very excited and visited their 'castle' and the deal was done! "A magical dream come true for them." Lois, previously a professional dancer, and Paulo, a Globe of Death artiste, first met in 2019 during the pantomime season in Edinburgh where they were both working on a Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Then, Covid struck and Paulo returned to Brazil, but returned five months later. In a whirlwind romance, they now have four children. Monkton Arts provided decorations at the tower, and canapes at the mini reception. Other suppliers were Roxanne Chatburn Photographer, Grace Captured Films, Wight Ribbon, Centrepiece Cake Design, Cathy's Bloomers and Isle of Wight Beauty Lynsey Marie. The couple celebrated at Appley Tower and later at Ryde Castle, and returned later in the evening to have a dip in the sea - kitted out in their wedding refinery for a magical photo shoot.
