Our Story
Our story started 12 years ago, back in the days when our idea of a great evening was to head out to Liquid in Windsor to have multiple WKD’s.
It was on one of these evenings when we first felt a spark, our eyes locked across the dance floor, and we instantly knew we had a connection.
For a long while, we both lived different lives, had separate adventures, and grew individually… Then 5 years ago, we went on another first date and haven’t looked back.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
Tom brought home his ‘new university friend’ one weekend, little did he know that he’d end up with his sister…
Who made the first move?
Jack. Obviously.
What's your favorite activity together?
Dog walk when it leads to a pub, but only if it leads to a pub.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Somewhere with pretty beaches and sun.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
We’ve had some lovely trips, but Thailand is definitely the winner!
We’re on the same page about
Our obsession with Bella, 80% of our conversation centres around our dog, and we are not ashamed of it.
Travel and Accommodation
Accommodation
For accommodation there are lots of B&B's, local hotels and houses to rent in the surrounding areas. We recommend having a good search as there's lots of different small options to choose from.
Locations such as Beaminster, Bridport, Broadwindsor are a few of the many local villages that have different accommodation options.
For anyone feeling a little adventurous, there's some lovely camping/glamping options too such as Benville Manor Camping or Walnut Farm Camping.
We recommend getting on the booking quickly if you can, as it's a busy season with lots of holiday makers. Let us know if you have any queries!
Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we are only inviting close family children to our Wedding. Please let us know if this isn’t suitable for you though!
Where should I park?
There is plenty of free parking at Mapperton House and the cars can stay there overnight.
What should I wear?
Standard wedding attire – more details will be included on the 'Our Wedding Day' section shortly.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony and reception are indoors, and our pre-drinks and canapés will be outdoors, so let’s wish for some bright July sunshine <3
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Stiletto heels are definitely a no-go! Our venue has advised us to tell you this! The Canapes and drinks will be on the sunken terrace, which has a very rocky terrain, so we recommend block heels only!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them on our app / via our QR code that you will see at the wedding. However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
Registry
We're incredibly thankful to have everything we already need. So, we're skipping out of tradition and would love for you to help us towards our Honeymoon Fund.
