Story
After spending a little over six, fun-filled years together, and the arrival of our wonderful Ernest, we are happy to announce our wedding date!
We've had quite the journey so far... from the initial arrow of Cupid Nick, we've become the closest of friends and the strongest of partners. We have a wonderful son and he has two amazing big sisters... life doesn't get much better.
Our wedding will simply tie the bow on an already wrapped gift. And we would love your presence to complete our day.
Love Brad & Toni xxx
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story (or ask the best Man)
What was your most memorable date?
Our most memorable date was our first, at The Blue Strawberry. However, being lodger and landlord, this wasn't going to be the easiest task: Brad left by the back door and knocked for Toni on the front door, rose and bubbles in hand, very romantic. He was surprised to see how much her house was like his :)
At the restaurant, Brad pulled out all the stops: champagne, red roses, a very romantic setting....
What's your favorite activity together?
Exploring new places in the car with no plan in mind
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Beautiful Sardinia! To explore with no schedule or plan in mind :)
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Driving through France, stopping wherever we saw fit and exploring vineyards. Finally camping in Chateau Neuf du Pape... and then the scenic meander home again.

When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by 14th June!

If you are attending the ceremony, please arrive at least 45 minutes before the start, so 1:15pm latest.
If you are attending the evening party, then we will be welcoming our evening guests from 6pm onwards - although, if the weather is favourable, you're welcome to come from 5pm and enjoy the bar and garden games.
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately we only have space at the moment for invitees. Once we have all our RSVP's in, we can see if there are any spare for additional guests.
Are kids welcome?
yes of course, kids make a wedding and we look forward to seeing your small people :)
Where should I park?
There is plenty of parking at the venue.
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
yes... although the accommodation may not be suitable given that the rooms are upstairs with no lift.
What should I wear?
Formal wedding - the plan was for an overseas wedding... at least we made it to a different county!
Since we are staying in Blighty, we're going for the traditional! Feel free to pull out and dust off your hat or fascinator :)
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
If weather permits, the ceremony will be outside. Wedges for ladies may be better on the grass but it probably does't matter a whole lot.
