A Royal Marine, Robert\nGathland got married to his beloved, Emily Scrace, in a beautiful ceremony on\nArmed Forces Day when the Red Arrows decided to give him an incredible\nsurprise; a spectacular air display topped off with a stunning Cupid&rsquo;s arrow\ndisplayed directly above their heads! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple met while Gathland was a bootcamp instructor at\nFit Bootcamp in Hartley Park after which he asked her for some help with his\nuniversity dissertation. It seems like love had always been in the air even\nbefore the Red Arrows literal Cupid&rsquo;s arrow display as the two started dating\npretty soon after meeting each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert revealed that he fell in love with his now wife&rsquo;s\namazing personality. Considering how much she has worked for charity\norganizations, we&rsquo;re not surprised &ndash; we&rsquo;d fall in love with her too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait, there&rsquo;s more! Emily doesn&rsquo;t only have a radiant\npersonality, she also seems to be an extremely physically fit person. According\nto Robert, her ability to do a perfect burpee was one of the things that made\nhim go crazy for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple got engaged when Gathland proposed on the Royal\nMarines 354th birthday last year after completing the United States Marine\nCorps Marathon in Washington DC- talk about being patriotic! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details of their wedding get even more adorable! The\nservice was led by Emily&rsquo;s dad, a retired cannon and Rev. John Money (42 Cdo RM\nPadre). After the service, the couple had an intimate reception where the Red\nArrows worked their magic. The wedding was quite literally a fairytale with a\nbuggy along with Emily singing in her beautiful voice at the wedding breakfast.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple&rsquo;s song choice is also heartwarming! They danced\nto Elvis Presley&rsquo;s &lsquo;Falling in Love&rsquo; for their first dance followed by a pretty\nneat wedding couple rap. The two definitely got the crowd going with their\nmusic selection. Needless to say, it was a memorable event not only for the\ncouple but also for everyone who attended the wedding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer weddings always give out a fairytale vibe, but this wedding could very well be the wedding of the year!
