Our Wedding

OUR STORY BEGINS Like all good love stories, we begin with once upon a time in the far away land of Wokingham… Once upon a time there was a creative and a scientist, two people from worlds never destined to cross and yet their paths crossed in the most unexpected of places: an app for online dating. As the pair wandered through the pitfalls of such a place, fate played the finest of hands and they found themselves drawn together. It’s a Match! It was there, in most unlikely of places amidst the pitfalls and oddballs that our beautiful journey began.&nbsp; The Creative - As an artist, I have always seen the world through a lens of imagination. My days are filled with the pursuit of finding creative solutions and capturing the essence of the visions we must portray. Art in its purest form is my language, and through it, I express my dreams, emotions, and visions. Little did I know just how radically science would change my world. The Scientist - For me, science is the key to understanding the life. I am fascinated by the laws of nature, the elegance of equations, and the endless possibilities that come with discovery. The lab is my sanctuary, where experiments and theories come to life. Yet, amidst the formulas and beakers, I never imagined that I would find someone who could bring colour to my world of logic and precision.&nbsp;On the day we finally met in “real life” we found ourselves alone with the stars, standing bathed in the golden sodium light of a no left turn on Wokingham high-street, and we shared our first kiss. Since that first day we have found balance in each other’s worlds, blending the abstract with the analytical. Our love is a testament to the harmony that exists when two seemingly different worlds. We invite you to join us in celebrating our love, we are thrilled to share our special day with you and to create new memories that will be cherished forever.

Our Story

WEDDING VENUE

THE ELVETHAM_

Explore the wonderful history of Elvetham where England’s tales are woven through its ancient oaks and parklands. It’s the site where Eadric the Wild plotted against William the Conqueror in the 11th&nbsp;Century, where King John gathered his nobles in readiness for war with France in 1205, and where King Henry VIII fell in love with Jane Seymour, his third wife and mother of his longed-for heir, just to name a few.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.elvethamhotel.co.uk/about-us/history-and-gardens" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.elvethamhotel.co.uk/about-us/history-and-gardens</a> _
