The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society has been on the look-out for a romantic couple to tie the knot during this year’s 100th Royal Welsh Show.

After a huge number of nominations poured into the RWAS offices, a careful sifting process led to one couple from Carmarthenshire being chosen.

Having known each other from the horse-showing circuit for many years, Bethan Edwards, 31, and Arwel Edwards, 34, began dating in 2015 and instantly became devoted to each other.

With a shared passion for horses and chickens, the couple soon began attending shows with their three young boys.

But in 2016 Arwel lost his son just before his third birthday following surgery for a heart condition.

Then Arwel and Bethan’s future plans were put on hold again when Arwel was laid up from his job as a truck driver after surgery to mend a badly broken leg.

This year saw the couple's luck finally change with the safe arrival of a new baby.

“It is often said amongst the exhibitors at the Royal Welsh Show, that returning to the showground year on year is like coming home," explains Harry Fetherstonthaugh, honorary show director.

"Such is the camaraderie between the competitors that the bonds made throughout the show-circuit often make for the very best of friends.

: “A marriage between those who have met at the show is not unusual, but a wedding on the showground during show week itself will be a first!

“We are all very much looking forward to helping to make Bethan and Arwel’s special day and wonderful and memorable as possible.”

Surrounded by a small group of friends and family, Bethan and Arwel will marry at the showground's picturesque bandstand on the first day of this year’s 100th Royal Welsh Show.

Following the ceremony, the couple will then enjoy a glass of chilled champagne whilst relaxing in the President's Box of the main ring grandstand. After a few moments to themselves watching the main ring attractions, the newlyweds will then join their guests for a celebratory wedding breakfast.
