Our Journey Together

Seven years, and a lifetime to go

What started out as mutual friends in our third year of college has become a lifetime in the making. These are a few of the moments that brought us here.

03 · March · 2019

Our first date.

We met through mutual friends in our third year of college. One first date was all it took. We've barely been apart since.

2019
06 · April · 2019

Officially together.

Just over a month later, Nick asked me to be his girlfriend. We haven't looked back since.

2023
The Netherlands & Belgium

Our first big adventure abroad.

Cobblestone streets, canal cafés, and long train rides. Travelling together taught us that wherever we go, we're already home.

The question.

On a winter's day in June, Nick asked me to marry him and the answer was always yes.

Today
Seven years later

Almost the Big Day!

In seven years we've spent fewer than fifty days away from each other. Now we're making it forever. We can't wait to celebrate with the people we love most.

Frequently Asked

Everything you're wondering

Are my children invited?
Nope. As much as we adore the little ones in your life, children are only welcome if they are specifically named on your invitation.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Please don't do that. Only if a plus-one has been indicated on your invitation are you able to bring a guest. Please don't bring random people to our wedding. We won't be able to accommodate them on the night, and no one wants that kind of awkward.
Can I really wear black?
Yes of course! Black is a great colour, and very much welcome. Just please stay away from white, ivory and cream.
What time should I arrive?
Doors open at 2:30 pm. Please be seated before 3:00 pm. The ceremony will begin promptly and we don't want you to miss the walk down the aisle!
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes, Goedgeleven has ample on-site parking. We'd still recommend arranging an Uber or designated driver for the trip home if you intend on drinking.
Are dietary requirements catered for?
Of course. Please let us know about any allergies or dietary preferences in the RSVP form above, and we'll make sure the kitchen takes care of you.
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will take place indoors, with the reception held inside as well. August evenings can be cool, and potentially chilly. We know your mom has told you this a thousand times, but its best to bring a jacket. Just in case.
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by 15 July 2026. Any responses after this date sadly can't be accommodated.
What is the bar sitatution looking like?
There is a wonderful bar onsite with skilled bartenders and a mixologist. This will be a cash bar for the event. Card and cash facilities will be available.
