Our story began in May 2012 and Jess had invited Chris to her 21st birthday party in Leeds. They'd known each other for many years previously, as Jess' brother Raf and Chris' sister Catherine had been friends since school. If you'd have asked Jess her thoughts on Chris in the past, she would have likely said "he's very annoying" - luckily for Chris, he managed to change her mind.
In May 2012, Chris plucked up the courage to ask Jess out on a date, but before doing so and being the gentelman that he is, he wanted to ask Raf for his permission. Raf's answer to this was "you'd better ask her!"
We have now been together nearly 5 years and some of our favourite moments include: the arrival our nieces and nephew (Harry, Sophie and Caitlin,) our trip to California (May 2014), weekends away in the lake district, Disneyland (Jess), Isle of man TT (Chris) and our engagement weekend in May 2016. We look forward to starting our married life making more happy memories with you.
When we started to think about our wedding, we both agreed that we wanted something a little different to that of a traditional English wedding. After getting engaged, Kefalonia was our next big holiday (September 2016) and we completely fell in love with the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery.
When searching Kefalonia for the perfect venue, Andromeda was our favourite by far. It will be exclusively for our guests and offers the most beautiful views of the mountains behind us and the coastline in front. Although Andromeda appears to be the most popular wedding venue on the island, it also serves as a popular restaurant and is well known for it's enjoyable Greek nights.
We spent 10 days at White Rocks Hotel in Lassi and most of our days consisted of getting up for breakfast, heading down to the beach and then heading back up to the hotel to get ready to go out for dinner and drinks at night. We can't wait to do it again and share it all with you!
