OUR STORY
After about 16 years together Aiden proposed to Jennifer on the 17th August 2019, as Aiden would say when ya know ya know! Finally when we announced our engagement, sure why not throw a pandemic into the mix to really test us ! During that time, we have moved the date twice, so here we go again 3rd time lucky and we are delighted to say it was worth the wait! We cannot wait to celebrate and share our special day with you all!!
HOW WE MET
We met in the summer of 2004, as we were only young we had no plans on settling down at that stage. However, we knew it was something special and as they say the rest is history and we have been pretty much inseparable since. We have been on many exciting adventures together, including annual ski trips around Europe, road trips across America, to even paragliding off the alps! We have two additional members in our family and these are our furry little friends Bengy and Maggie who are always keeping us on our toes. Now we just cannot wait to tie the knot and make it official!
