Timeline

Our Story

Photos

When Chels first told Mandy about Hen, Mandy replied with her usual phrase “You can have a boyfriend when you’re 18”. But after meeting him she quickly became fond of her “hezza” buying him a “chocolate egg”(his favourite Terrys chocolate orange) whenever she can get the chance. Chelsea would not be the strong independent woman she is without her mother as her biggest inspiration. 

Amanda Smith

Jake and Chelsea have spent their whole lives winding each other up. In 2023 Jake picked up Chelsea and the MoH Amelia from the airport after a missed flight, let’s just say we might share genes but we do not share the same music taste(or volume). 

We couldn’t be prouder that Jake will fill in the role for Chelsea’s Dad and will be walking her down the aisle. 

Jake Paul 

The man who drives us to the airport endless times with little complaints, tells us random facts and mediates the petty family bickers.  Chris has a really impressive skill for making a common cold look like he's on death's door.
He shares a love for F1, Lego and gaming with Hen. He is a truly special part of our life.

Chris Armitage

Our lovely Becca, if there was anything she was meant to be it was definitely a mum. Although we jokingly critique her tasty meals and driving abilities, she is one of the most special people in our lives and we would not be where we are without her. 

ps Becca will claim she planned the whole wedding (ignore her). 

Becca Armitage

Hen and Chels met Amelia on the first day of university in shared halls. She immediately became a huge part of our lives, Henry and Amelia shared a passion for politics and Chelsea and Amelia shared a passion for just about everything else. It's hard to summarise our relationship with Amelia in one paragraph. The girl who made my packed lunches for placement, made running errands an exciting day out and made me laugh regardless of how bad my day had been. She is a truly special person. 


Amelia Watson 

Chelsea’s day one. Chels met Steph during college where Steph sat next to Chelsea to “share” answers. They share a love for bottomless brunch and hot girl walks by the canal.  A truly amazing friend. 

Steph Behan

Chelsea first met Mia in her first year seminars at university and became captured by Mia’s sarcastic humour. The friend where going for 1 pint means forgetting how we got home. Chelsea couldn’t have imagined getting through 3 years of nursing without Mia by her side. They share a fondness of cheesy chips and a Wetherspoons beer garden.

As you all know travel is one of the biggest parts of our relationship. Our favourite memories are when we are away together. Your presence at our wedding is a gift enough! However, if you wish to help us celebrate with a gift, extra spending money would be much appreciated for our first adventure as Mr and Mrs Armitage.
