Our Story

We’re so thrilled to welcome you to the place where we met and fell in love. Oxford holds so many memories for us, right from our first date at the Magdalen Arms. This place brought us together, and now that we’re nearing the end of four years of long distance, it’s such a joy to gather here again with friends and family who have supported and encouraged us along the way.

It isn’t easy to sum up all that we cherish about one another in a short paragraph for a website. But in each other, we have found a shared love for things both silly and sublime, and a way of looking at the world with eyes of curiosity, wonder, and gratitude. As the American poet Mary Oliver puts it, ‘truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood’we are thankful to experience together the marvelous mystery of love.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to our friends and family, without whom this weekend would not be possible.
