Our Wedding

Where our journey began...

We both found ourselves back where it all began, at our childhood homes in Ilkeston for the Christmas period of 2018. Surrounded by familiar places, family traditions, and a little festive magic… and fate quietly stepped in.

On Christmas Day, our story officially began with a simple message: “Merry Christmas!” What started as a small little festive message quickly turned into effortless conversation, and before the holidays were over, we knew we had to meet in person.

Our first date was on December 29th 2018, at Miller &amp; Carter, chosen for one very important reason: our shared love of steak! Over dinner, we discovered just how intertwined our paths had nearly been. We reminisced about Kirk Hallam School, where we had both attended, completely unaware that we most likely crossed paths countless times through mutual connections… yet somehow never actually met.

Over the following weeks, one date turned into many. We explored places that had quietly shaped us long before we knew each other, walking across the Dovedale stepping stones, a place we had both visited as children, and travelling to Lincoln, where Adam had attended University. Each trip brought new stories, deeper conversations, and the growing realisation that this connection felt different.

That journey led us to Malham Cove, the day we took our very first photo together, and the moment we both realised we were made for each other. Six and a half years later, that same photo point and view would be a place that would become even more meaningful… the spot where Adam asked the most important question of all. And if you’ve made it this far… the reason you’re reading this is because Sarah said yes!

Having you present is the greatest gift of all. However, to make our honeymoon extra special, we would really appreciate a little bit of money in our pot, for our next adventure after we tie the knot!
