    Where it began

    A rainy April evening, a borrowed umbrella, and two strangers who talked until the last train home.

  2. 2021

    A home of our own

    A tiny apartment, a shelf of well-worn cookbooks, and the same curry recipe on every quiet Friday.

  3. 2024

    Kyoto weekends

    Lantern-lit evenings, station sushi, and the comfortable habit of holding hands.

  4. March 2025

    The proposal

    On a quiet hill above the city, James finally asked — and Amelia said yes twice, just to be sure.

In our words

A note from us

Anything extra you would like guests to see — how we met, where to stay, or a little note from the family.

How we met

It started with a borrowed book and a shared umbrella — and ended, some years later, with a ring and a date in the garden. The whole story is a little too long for a card, so the short version lives here.

A photo for the free page — replace with your own

With love, Amelia & James
