PARAMEDICS tied the knot with an elopement in the Lake District.

Megan Corr and Blair Elliott met in 2016.

"I was immediately captivated by Blair’s smile, and then once we began to talk to each other, I loved how kind and caring he was," said Megan.

Blair said: "Initially, I was attracted to Megan’s kindness and knew from the start she was a caring person."

The pair, from Belfast, got engaged on holiday in Turunc, Turkey, in October 2022, in their first-ever holiday together.

"The proposal was on the side of the mountain, and the view was amazing looking out at the Mediterranean Sea. There were not too many people around, and just as the sun was setting," said Blair.

The couple decided to elope in the Lake District at the Lakeside Hotel and Spa on November 20 2023 as they wished to have an intimate and relaxed day.

They explained that eloping to Windermere was great for views, and Megan wanted that time of year for the autumn colours.

"Waking up to the views of the mountains and lakes was very surreal," she said.

"Having a small private ceremony in the lodge by the lake made the day and experience more intimate and about us. As a newly married couple, we got to focus on ourselves and our experience.

"We couldn’t have done any of this without the help and support of all our family and friends."

Megan said the highlight of the day was walking out to the music from the Lord of the Rings as she is a big fan of the movies.

"Whenever I watch the Lord of the Rings I remember my wedding day and walking out and seeing Blair," she said.

When asked about where they break for their honeymoon the couple said: "We haven’t had a chance to do our next big getaway,"

"But the elopement itself was a mini-moon package for four nights. The next holiday will be to see Edinburgh for a long weekend once we are settled with our new jobs in Northern Ireland."
