A CHORLEY couple who both work in the NHS have won Brockholes Nature Reserve’s Win Your Wedding competition.
Amy Hayes and Jamie Shattock came first out of around 50 entries after their story won voters’ hearts
The couple had met as NHS workers four years ago, with Ms Hayes recently opting to work as a nurse on the frontline at Chorley Hospital and Mr Shattock as a hospital engineer in Burnley.
On hearing that she and her fiancé had won, Ms Hayes said: “We were so shocked, we couldn’t quite believe it.
“We were at Jamie’s parents’ house when we got the call and everyone started dancing round the room - even Jamie’s gran was fist pumping she was so excited!
“We are just so excited about getting all the families together for a wonderful celebration.
“It is giving us something to look forward to after such a difficult few months, which still hasn’t ended. We can’t wait to tell Jamie’s son, it’s going to be the best surprise for him, and all our friends and family.”
