Our Story
Sam and Yuki met in a café in a small town in Kyushu, Japan where Sam was teaching English. They started talking and only stopped because the cafe closed and all other customers had gone. They found excuses to keep talking and seeing each other, all the while knowing Sam was returning to the UK at the end of the year. They decided to give long distance a go, thinking 'what's the worst that could happen'. The answer, naturally, was a global pandemic. Covid-19 kept Sam and Yuki apart as much as the distance did, but they always held on to a hope of reuniting in one country or another. Yuki and Sam finally reunited in a Love Actually-esque scene at Heathrow airport on Christmas Eve 2021. They spent a year reconnecting with many dates in London and elsewhere, before moving in together a year later. Sam and Yuki are excited to enter the next stage of their lives together and can't wait for you to come and celebrate!
