Our Story
We’ll always remember the dark clouds of March 2020, the start of lockdown—a challenging time for everyone. But for us, there was a silver lining hidden within the Covid cloud.
At the time, Dan was working from home in Aylsham, while Kim was an essential worker at Bread Source, the local bakery and coffee shop. Dan’s permitted daily exercise soon included regular visits to Bread Source, picking up freshly baked bread and his daily espresso.
Kim’s warmth, infectious laughter, and uplifting ‘can do’ spirit quickly caught Dan’s eye—and with that magical spark, our story began.
Day by day, we got to know each other better until Dan—channeling his inner Hugh Grant with printed placards—finally plucked up the courage to ask Kim out for a socially distanced walk. Those daily bakery visits turned into weekly walks, and our connection grew stronger with each passing step.
Fast forward to January 2023, Kim knew Dan would propose someday—after all, she had chosen an engagement ring during a visit to Dan’s dad in Cape Town, the land of Kimberley diamonds. But what she didn’t know was when or where, until the perfect moment finally came beneath Prague’s famous astronomical clock.
Which brings us to today.
We’ve made our home together in the heart of Aylsham, Norfolk with Kara, Grace, together with our three cats: Gizmo, Tilly, and Jasper. Life has given us everything we could possibly wish for.
We’re incredibly excited to celebrate this new chapter with you at the Assembly House in Norwich. Thank you for joining us on our special day—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
