A COUPLE who met on Portland tied the knot at the castle on the Isle.

Sarah and Gary Watton chose to get married at Pennsylvania Castle in the orangery overlooking the gardens, with views out to sea.

After enjoying photos on the terrace they travelled to The George Inn on Portland for their marquee reception and evening celebrations.

The couple said the day was wonderful and it was lovely to be able to share it with their family and friends.

The bride said: “We chose Penn Castle for our wedding ceremony as Portland was where Gary and I first met and lived together.

“It wasn’t until we viewed the castle as a potential venue that we realised how stunningly beautiful it was – we immediately fell in love with it and the fantastic views.”

She added: “The Penn’s staff were brilliant at every step of the planning and on the big day were the ultimate professionals and everything ran without a hitch. We had the most perfect day in every way.

“It was like a summer’s day and the whole experience was magical.”
