Our story
Not every great love story starts smoothly. We met in economics class, widely acknowledged as the most romantic of all the classes. Our first date came after Joe sent Laura a rather enthusiastic drunken message at his 18th birthday party, which turned into a spectacularly hungover coffee date the morning after. Laura paid — we've been nontraditional from the very start.
Over the years, we've navigated a lot, including four years of a 5-hour time difference while Laura was studying in New York and Joe was in London. Things swung to the other extreme when the government mandated we spend 24/7 together during covid. It turns out, we quite enjoy that.
These days, we share a wonderful life together in London along with Otis, our adorable, perfectly trained, totally relaxed, and very much sane dog. We are no longer particularly good at being apart from each other, or from him.
We are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives, and we're truly grateful for the love and support you have shown us over the past ten years. It is a real privilege that you would make the journey to the beautiful South West coast to celebrate with us — we can't wait to share our special day with you all.
