Welcome to the wedding of

Laura & Gilbert

Friday 2 May 2025

The Love Story
Picture this: university, where the air is thick with the scent of textbooks and the promise of caffeine-fueled all-nighters. Our tale begins with a chance encounter orchestrated by the mischievous hands of fate (and a few meddling friends). She, a vision of beauty with a penchant for sarcasm, stumbled upon him in the midst of a study session. His charm? As bright as his future, with a side of nerdiness that made her heart skip a beat. Cue the sparks! Fast forward to our love-struck duo, and their shared love for music, travel, food and drink. And let's not forget Ronnie, their faithful canine companion, howling along in perfect pitch. But hold onto your hats, folks, because here comes the plot twist! On a chilly evening in London, he decides to whisk her away on a romantic adventure to the Greenwich viewing point. "Little did she know", this wasn't just any stroll in the park. Despite his fumbling nerves, love triumphed in the end. And so, they embarked on a journey filled with DIY disasters, travel mishaps and a lifetime of loving each other. So here's to us, the dynamic duo, and partners in laughter. As we head down the aisle towards happily ever after, let's raise a glass to love, laughter, and Laura & Gilbert.
