How it started
Not a lightning strike. More like being handed a map to a place you had already been dreaming about. We met, we kept finding reasons to talk, and somewhere in there the reasons stopped being necessary.
After a long while of quietly building a life together, we are making it official in a garden we love, in the presence of the people we love. Everything you need for the day is on this page. The only thing we need from you is your yes.
Saturday, the fourteenth of November Two thousand twenty-six
The short version
One
Not a lightning strike. More like being handed a map to a place you had already been dreaming about. We met, we kept finding reasons to talk, and somewhere in there the reasons stopped being necessary.
Two
Late light, a quiet stretch of water, and a flower picked on the way because there was no plan to pick one. She said yes before the sentence was finished, which is very much how she does everything.
Three
A garden, a handful of vows we wrote ourselves, and a long dinner with everyone who got us here. Then dancing, for as long as they will let us. We would very much like you in the room.
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Emily Brontë

Still to come
This page is where everything lands. The schedule, travel notes and how to reply will appear here as they are settled, so look in again closer to the day.
The one thing we need
Please reply by the first of September. One form per person, so we get the meals right.
If you insist
Your being there is the whole of it.
Before you ask
Your invitation names everyone we have space for. If it says "and guest", bring whoever you like. If you are unsure, ask us directly rather than guessing: we would rather have the awkward conversation than seat someone in a chair that does not exist.
Children who are named on the invitation are very welcome. Otherwise this one is an evening for the grown-ups, and we hope it buys you a rare night off.
The ceremony and drinks are outdoors on grass and gravel, and dinner is under cover. There is a wet-weather plan and you will not end up standing in the rain. Do bring something for your shoulders: Stony Hill sits well above Kingston and it genuinely cools off after dark.
Arrive by half past three. The ceremony is short and starts on time, and the gate is a few minutes' walk from the seats.
Free parking on site, off the main entrance.
During the ceremony, please do not. We have a photographer, and we would rather look out at faces than at phones. After that, take as many as you like and send us every one.
By the first of September. Catering is confirmed the week after, so late replies are genuinely hard to fix.
