Events Sue and Terry walk... up the aisle The wedding everyone was talking about took place, not in Windsor, but here in Nerja on May 11, when Sue Bennett and Terry Brown were married in the Church of El Salvador on the Balcón de Europa by Father Nigel Thomas. The long-distance romance continued for the next couple of years with increasingly frequent and longer visits, until October 2016 when Terry moved here permanently. He proposed (again!) in February 2015 and she finally accepted. Sue is a well-known figure in the town, having lived and worked here for over 15 years, whilst Terry moved here from his native Staffordshire 18 months ago. A packed church saw the bride given away by her son, Anthony, while the best man was the groom’s brother Michael and the bridesmaid was Sue’s niece, Alicia. The couple left the church to a guard of honour provided by their friends from the walking group forming an archway with walking poles! The couple first met in a local walking group in May 2014 and had their first date six months later, after another walk where Ian offered to carry her rucksack up and down the 1000 metre mountain El Fuerto. Having accepted his offer she could hardly refuse a dinner date with him. The reception was held at the restaurant Marbella with music by the Flying Dolphins. Congratulations to the happy couple! 41
