ABOUT THE DATE

16th October 2009

Though we had been friends for a year already, 16th October 1999 was the date of our first kiss. After a week of will-they-won’t-they excitement, the magic happened by the Pepsi machine in the Warwick University Student’s Union. 10 years later to the day, we will marry.

ABOUT THE VENUES

St. Mary’s Church, Church Road, Barnes, London, SW13 9HL (Map)

St. Mary’s is a beautiful 13th century church situated on Church Road close to where we made our first home together in 2002. Oli has lived his whole life within the sound of the St Mary’s Church bells (like being born within the sound of the bow bells but posher and less famous). Despite it being his local church, he hasn’t attended a service there since he was invested as a Cub Scout in 1988 but please don’t tell the Vicar. To find out more about the church, click here.

Service from 5pm

The Depot, Tideway Yard, 125 Mortlake High Street, London, SW14 8SN (map)

The reception will be taking place at The Depot, a local bar and restaurant close to the church. Tideway Yard where it is housed started life as the stables and coach houses for the Barnes Council refuse depot. Today, they maintain the highest standards of hygiene.

Reception from 6pm, After dinner guests from 9.30pm
