our story

twelve years, one yes

A short version, because the long one is for the toasts.

  1. 2019

    How we met

    A Lagos rooftop, a borrowed jacket, and a playlist that ran far too long.

  2. 2021

    First trip

    Two weeks in Lisbon. A lot of pastéis de nata. One stolen umbrella.

  3. 2024

    The proposal

    On the cliff at Cape Three Points, with both our mothers hidden behind a coconut tree.

  4. 2026

    And now this

    A garden, a string quartet, and the people who knew us before we knew each other.
