The Mullins have their wedding tailored just for them by utilizing their caravan
It’s true to say, most people have their own love story, but for Pam and Mark Mullins theirs concentrates on the rekindling of their relationship and culminates in a honeymoon to remember, thanks to the other love of their life – their caravan.
The Mullins started dating 40 years ago, but broke up when Mark stood Pam up so he could attend a Rotherham United Foodball match. In 2008 the couple reconnected on an internet site and fell in love all over again.
Pam and Mark spent their wedding and honeymoon in Snowdonia National Park village of Betws-y-Coed, describing the trip as “perfect.”
The couple, from Knaresborough, NorthYorkshire, decided to get married and then honeymoon in Betws-y-Coed because they had been there many times before. For the past eight years the couple has used their touring caravan to stay at the five star Riverside Touring Park, which lies at the heart of the village.
The Mullins had a small wedding ceremony and reception at the Royal Oak Hotel in the village, with just 31 close friends and family members as guests.
“It was an absolutely fantastic wedding and honeymoon,” said Pam. “The weather was out of this world for the time of year. Everything exceeded our expectations and I wouldn’t change a thing if we did it all again.”
Pam and Mark are members of The Caravan Club and, following on from their experience have urged more people to take the plunge and honeymoon in a caravan.
Pam said: “When we spent our honeymoon in the caravan, Mark insisted on carrying me over the threshold into the awning and we took a piece of wedding cake for the park managers who were so accommodating.”
The couple visits Riverside in their caravan three or four times a year. The parkm which lies in the middle of the village, makes it an optimum location for leaving the car and talking a walk to discover local attractions.
Riverside is an affiliate site of The Caravan Club and includes 60 pitches for touring caravans, and 65 holiday homes, perfect for anyone wishing to visit the heart of Snowdonia. Visitors can see the Snowdonia National Park and the North Wales coast.
“Doing what we did was perfect for us,” said Pam. “Everything about the wedding was personal to us and our specially made wedding cake even had our caravan and Riverside on it.”
