Our story

How it all began

A few chapters from our life that led us to this day.

Spring 2019
A chance meeting
Mutual friends introduced us at a birthday in a little café by the river. One conversation lasted until morning.
Summer 2020
Our first trip
Two weeks together, backpacks and mountains. That is when we knew we wanted to walk through life the same way.
Winter 2023
A home together
We made our first nest — favourite books, plants on the windowsill, and endless plans for the future.
Autumn 2025
The proposal
At the same spot by the river where it all began, the question was asked — and the ring found its finger.

Good to know

A few extra details to help the day run smoothly.

We can't wait to welcome you to the manor. Here are a few things we're often asked — and a link to our gift registry, should you wish to give something.

  • The nearest village shop is a 10-minute walk and closes at 6 PM.
  • Phone signal at the manor is patchy — save directions before you set off.
  • A late shuttle runs to the village hotels at midnight.
