Shropshire is truly one of the most romantic counties in which to wed.
Places like Rowton Castle Hotel, which was recently voted in a Times Newspaper survey as one of the most romantic hotels in England in which to tie the knot. And they're not the only one; Goldstone Hall Hotel & Restaurant sees over 40 marriages each year and with typical Shropshire hospitality, will incorporate your wedding ideas into the day, to make it special to you (as it should be).
Or for somewhere a little more unusual, why not try the Shrewsbury Castle, perhaps not classically romantic, but no less enchanting.
If you do wed in Shropshire, you'll be in good company. Perfectly sane historians tell us that King Arthur and Guinevere got married in Shropshire and although we don't have the photographs, and are wondering whether it was his place (Wroxeter) or hers (Oswestry), we are certain that the lush Shropshire landscape provided the perfect backdrop, as it does today.
To give your nuptuals a legendary quality too we have helpfully provided a list below to help you find the very best of Shropshire's wedding venues and nearby, you'll find other Shropshire hostelries, ideal for accommodating your guests. Or why not email them this website link www.shropshiretourism.co.uk to find their own places to stay? (After all, you've got quite enough to do).
So why not thrust the confetti into the mother-in-law's hand, put on the silly hats and tie the knot in Shropshire. The only thing you have to worry about then is where to take the honeymoon, unless of course you fancy staying on in Shropshire.
A honeymoon in Shropshire will please both Bride and Groom. The boys will happily play with the quite remarkable toys to be found at our hands-on-museums, aircraft collections and many golf courses. The ladies no doubt, will want to indulge their passions for designer shopping, great gardens, stately homes and gourmet restaurants.
The resulting romantic harmony may well ensure the arrival of at least one more generation of the human race.
