View on mapHow we became us
Amara was watering roses at the Sunday market when Julian mistook her stall for a book fair. The apology flowers turned into a year of long walks and even longer letters — all of them about nothing, all of them kept.
Under the same garden where we first argued about books, Julian knelt among the peonies at golden hour. Amara said yes before he finished the question — twice, to be sure.
On the fourteenth of June, surrounded by everyone we love, we begin the longest chapter of all. Thank you for being part of the story before the first page was even turned.
Little moments
A few of the days that led us here.
A gentle note
Soft pastels & garden florals. Dresses in blush, lavender, powder blue and sage are all warmly welcome — as are pockets full of petals.
The ceremony will be held outdoors, weather permitting — a light shawl is a lovely idea.
Kindly reply
Your presence is the greatest gift. We would love to know if you can celebrate with us.
RSVP closes in
From the heart
Leave a little note for Amara & Julian — your words will be kept with our keepsakes.
In our own words
A memory, a thank-you, or the story behind the day — the floor is yours. Add as many blocks as you like.
With gratitude
Your presence is the greatest gift of all. For those who wish to honour us further, a small contribution towards our first home together would be treasured.
