About Kate and Andy
Andy and Kate have long debated where they first met. It was either in a strawberry field or a sweaty London nightclub, you can guess whose memory is whose. They became friends for life over the course of four Glastonbury Festivals, particularly 2011 - an especially good vintage. Their connection deepened when they were both travelling solo in South East Asia in 2015 and romance blossomed at the Winter Solstice 2016 once they both lived in Bristol. Andy popped the question in January 2020 in Sri Lanka on a beach (planned) and during a lunar eclipse (unplanned) and she said yes!

Kate & Andy's Wedding
Your presence is present enough! We feel truly blessed to have you with us.
But if you wish to support us as we move into the next chapter, financial contributions towards our home and honeymoon would be most helpful. Recommendations on how you think we should use any gifts are welcomed!
We hope to go to France for the honeymoon (Andy has never been, mon dieu!). We will start in Paris, visiting La Louvre, Musée Marmottan Monet and La Tour Eiffel. We hope to enjoy cafes and sunflower fields as we travel south, ending on the French Riviera.
