Our Story
Iain was an hour and a half late for our first date — he started as he meant to go on — but Caroline was patience personified. The conversation flowed straight away, and we ended up staying together long into the evening.
After three and a half happy years together, we really can’t imagine being apart. We love the adventure of building a home together and making each other happy.
We’ve both had our fair share of heartache, and we’re simply thankful that we have found each other. We complete each other, and we’re excited to celebrate that with you, our favourite people.
