A POUNDBURY couple who met at the gym celebrated their big day surrounded by family and friends.
Petr Kosnar, 33, and Georgina Rice, 26, from Poundbury, met at a gym in Dorchester where Petr was kick-boxing.
Georgina said she had seen him in the gym and put a note on his car windscreen with her number. Petr gave her a call. Georgina said: “And the story began. That was four-and-a-half years ago.”
Petr popped the question when the couple were having dinner at Frankie and Benny’s restaurant in Castlepoint, Bournemouth. Georgina said that she was in total shock when Petr got down on one knee, adding that the proposal came totally out of the blue.
On their wedding day the couple chose their favourite colours to be used in the decorations – burnt orange and purple.
The couple got married at St George’s Church in Fordington and had their reception at the King’s Arms, Dorchester.
Georgina said: “We just wanted it to be a big party really. We had a DJ and chocolate fountain and photo booths. It was a great evening.”
The newlyweds went away on honeymoon to Turkey a month after the big day. A special thank you goes to Jill Rice, Georgina’s mum, and friend Julie Webb.
