Why now?
We know it's a crazy idea to get married as we've been together for more than 30 years. But apart from wanting a damn good party with our friends and families, we do have another reason.

Some of you may know that we lost Ant's mum Sheila, just before Christmas, after a battle with cancer. Since then we've been trying to gather the George family together so we can inter her ashes alongside her husband, in Leicestershire. Ant's sister lives in America and his brother in Australia so getting them and their families all into the UK at the same time is a rare occasion. So we thought while we have everyone together in one place, we could also get married?

Why have a January wedding, in a castle in Wales?
Early January is the only time we can get the George clan together and over to the UK. We love West Wales, Nicola's family lives a few miles outside of Manorbier (near Tenby) and Ant's Mum and Dad lived in the married quarters in Manorbier's army barracks in the 60s. So this place has special meaning to both of us.

Presence not presents
We don't want any gifts as we realise most people will have to travel. Instead, we'd rather you come to the castle and celebrate with us.

It's not a usual wedding
We are not fans of formal weddings so apart from a simple ceremony in the castle's rustic chapel, everything else will be very low-key and relaxed with plenty of food and drink, good music and dancing. How often do you have exclusive use of a medieval castle for a whole weekend to party?
