Story
It was love at first sight over a secondary school science laboratory...or maybe not! It may have taken a while from our first hello's in Form Class at St Wilfrids High School (wearing a tie wider than it was long), to now 20 years later near enough to the day, walking down the aisle with all of you lovely people there. Playing the long game was clearly the game for us.
As most modern day love stories form it blossomed in a Facebook messenger inbox :p and now four years later we have lived in two countries, four different towns, travelled to 14 countries and counting, enjoy each and every day with our baby Wilf (remember the name of the school we met at!) and got legally married in between. You did what? SURPRISE we've had a Civil Partnership for two years just to warm us up for our actual wedding day with all of you lovely lot!
If you've made it this far big love to you, please read on for more details about the day, travel, accommodation, wedding party info etc. We will be adding more information to the website as we go along so please do pop back.
Love Victoria & Joshua xxx
