How it all began
We first swiped right on tinder in 2015, we became good friends and talked all the time!
We met in person in Staines for the first time - We met a few times after this but decided to be good friends while we were on different life paths. We remained really good friends during this time.
In 2016 we realized our life goals aligned and we fell for each other and our feelings grew and grew... We met up again and it was like no time had pased and from this point we were inseparable meeting up every weekend or whenever we could... along with hours of calls...
2nd November 2016 Liam asked Lauren to be his girlfriend...and the rest is history!
Over the last 7 years we've made amazing memories, moving into our own house, adding our fur baby Rolo to our family and various holidays and adventures but one memory we will always cherish is August 14th 2022 when Liam spontaneously proposed in Florida...
We look forward to tying the knot and making lots more amazing memories!
In August 2022 we went to Florida for a family holiday. Florida is our happy place and our favourite holiday destination.
On the 14th August we all decided to get a bite to eat at TGI Fridays. Liam had already decided he wanted to propose and couldn't get a quiet moment with Lauren's dad (Mark) so decided to wait.
When we got back from the meal Lauren got into comfy clothes and settled down with some of the family playing a game of UNO - Liam saw Mark outside on his own and took the chance to have the conversation.
While Lauren and a few family members were engrossed in a intense game of UNO Liam came inside and waited patiently for the game of UNO to finish and luckily Lauren won this round. He asked Lauren to follow him into their room - And to walk straight out to the pool (Our bedroom leaded outside to the pool) Lauren realised what was happening and laughed nervously. Liam took Lauren to the pool and got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Once we took the moment in, we ran inside and celebrated with the family which ended up with us jumping in the pool!
It was a beautiful intimate moment and we're glad we got to share it with the people around us.
Our engagement!

Gifts!
We've been together a year or two,
We don't really need anything new,
Yet if a gift is your intention
we thought that we would mention,
we'd love some pennies to put together,
to save for something that we will treasure.
And just remember, what means the most,
is that your with us to raise a toast!
Can I RSVP online or do I have to mail in an RSVP card?
You can RSVP using the Card in your invite. We have tried to make it super easy for you so we have pre printed the address & paid for postage so you just need to fill in the details and post the card back to us! If you would prefer to RSVP using the website this is also an option.
What date should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP no later then 14th February. We have a very strict time frame as we still have lots to plan and finalise with our venue so if we do not receive the RSVP by this date we will presume you are not attending.
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding will be mostly indoors however we have access to the Gardens onsite.
What is the dress code for your wedding?
Formal attire - We ask kindly to avoid wearing plain burgundy and white attire to make this easy for our photographer and videographer to spot the bridal and groomsman party
Am I able to bring Plus-Ones and Children?
If your invite states yourself and "a guest" or "and family" this means your plus one or children are invited if you are unsure feel free to contact one of us to clarify! We have to stick to a tight guest list so please bear this in mind.
Will there be an open bar?
We will be providing a selection of Beer and Wine for the day guests. If there is any leftovers evening guests are more then welcome to it.
What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?
we advise you aim to arrive 30 minutes before our ceremony start time. Please aim to arrive no later then 12:30pm.
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
For the ceremony we are leaving it up to our photographer and videographer as we want to see your faces and not your phones. There will be points where you will be able to take pictures.
After the ceremony we encourage you to take as many pictures as you can! We'd love to see them so please scan our barcode located around the venue and upload them to the portal so we have something to look back on while we wait for our photos and video!
Can I post wedding photos on social media?
Yes! Please post the photos as we'd love to see them! We want pictures to look at the next day!
I have more questions about your wedding, who can I contact?
