Our Love
Story
Our love story started with a solid business transaction—Toby bartered with Jessie’s dad, offering two chickens and a goat in exchange for a date. After some negotiations (and no actual livestock changing hands), a deal was struck.
Eight years later, we’re still laughing
about the best ‘trade’ Toby ever made.
Our story began long before our first date, when Toby worked with Jessie’s family. After years of knowing each other, we finally went for dinner at a curry house—and the rest is history.
Since then, we’ve traveled the world together and made incredible memories. Seven years after our very first holiday, to Mount Teide, Toby brought us back to that special place and proposed at sunset above the clouds with our closest friends. Now, after eight amazing years, we’re so excited to start this next chapter as husband and wife, building our home and future together!
Getting There
By Car
There’s a grassy field on the farm opposite the barn for parking if you'd like to drive. We kindly ask that guests arrange their own taxis in advance for both ways.
By Train
We recommend getting a train to Havant station and getting a 12 minute taxi to the venue as there are no train stations available on the island.
Where to Stay
Hotels and campsites to check out
Registry
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. But if you would like to give us a gift, since we already live together and have most of what we need for our new home (Toby might say Jess likes a bit of clutter!), we would be truly grateful for contributions toward our honeymoon fund.
