- The Cargo Shed

- All black
We’re doing this a little differently. We tied the knot privately. Now we’re bringing all our favourite people together to watch it back, raise a glass, eat, laugh, dance and celebrate properly.
Chapter One
Two people who are very good at doing life together
The travelling, the risks, the dogs, the plans still on the list — the whole story, in our own words.
Chapter Two · 1 May 2027
First, we're getting married…
On 1 May, we're sneaking away and making it official — just the two of us. Then, two weeks later, we'll see our wedding film for the very first time with all of you.
That moment is intentionally just ours. But we didn’t want you to miss it entirely, so it’s being filmed — and we won’t watch a single frame before the Big Gig. When the film rolls at 4:00 PM, it’s the first time for us too.
What the night looks like
Chapter Three · 15 May 2027
The Big Gig
Doors at 3:30. Film at 4:00. Then food, drinks, speeches, a first dance you're finishing with us and a dance floor that gets properly loud.
The Premiere
Our wedding film, seen for the first time — by us too.
The Pre-Game
Grazing food, cash bar, live music and speeches.
OPUS
DnB, glow sticks and a dance floor that stays full.
The Comedown
Country ballads, one more drink, home before midnight.

Chapter Four · After Dark
Dinner ends.The night begins.
Once the formalities are done, we’re turning the music up, kicking off the heels and celebrating properly with our favourite people.
Good music. Good drinks. Our favourite people. That’s really all we need.
The kind of night we wanted
Nothing too formal. Nothing too serious.
We wanted the night to feel like us — relaxed, full of laughter, surrounded by the people we love and with absolutely no pressure to behave like we’re at a traditional wedding.
Have a drink. Find your people. Hit the dance floor.
We’ll take care of the rest.

A little note
This one’s for the grown-ups.
We’re keeping our wedding celebration adults only so everyone can switch off, stay late and enjoy the night with us.
Stay late.
Dance with us. Drink with us. Celebrate with us.
We only get to do this once.
