Our Story

For those who didn't know...

The story actually starts 15 years ago (but more of that another time)...

We first met 3.5 years ago during the height of COVID, exactly one year after Lou had stalked Craig on Instagram via a mutual friend (Thanks Josh Sharpe!), Craig eventually plucked up the courage to slide in to Lou's DM's. 

After a couple of weeks of back & forth messaging online, waiting for lockdowns to lift, we met for a socially distanced walk round Dove Stone Reservoir. With nowhere open due to COVID restrictions, we spent the next couple of months dating from the home comforts of Craig's living room, transforming it in to a cinema, fancy restaurant & bar, bowling alley... well not quite, but you get the gist! 

Following an interesting restricted start to our relationship, we knew things were going well for us right from the off. Fast forward a couple of years, our love for each other had grown ten fold and Craig knew it was time to get that knee dirty. On our annual trip to Glenridding (Lake District) in 2023 with 'The Gang', the question was popped, Lou said 'I Do!' (after a few minutes spent recovering from shock...) and here we are now planning our wedding!!!

Welcome to our wedding website

We have chosen to have an intimate wedding ceremony in front of direct family only, earlier in the day. However, we can't wait for you all to join us for the 'fun' bit from 5pm!
