We can hardly wait to celebrate the beginning of us with you — family and friends from all over the world who got us to this moment. We are so lucky to be surrounded by so many people who love us, inspire us, support us, challenge us and make us laugh. To have them all in one place, well, that’s just going to be epic. For those of you wondering how two people an ocean apart could find each other, here is our story.

We faced a unique first choice as we began to plan our wedding: What continent? We settled on the U.K. and Padstow, in particular, because it is special to both of us. We’ve spent the past two Julys here, wandering the village, having cream teas, cycling the Camel Trail and just being at peace. Padstow is the kind of place that embraces you like an old friend and makes you feel at home.

We hope you’ll enjoy your time here as much as we have. We’ve put together some information about Padstow and the surrounding area for those unfamiliar with the Cornish Coast along with details about the church and reception venue.

John Steinbeck wrote that a trip has “personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness” and, like people, “no two are alike.” To help you create an itinerary that works best for you, we have put together information on travel and accommodations. During the summer, properties can go quickly so we encourage you to book early for the best selection. And we’ll leave you with one other quote from Steinbeck : “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” So enjoy the ride and let us know if you need any help or have any questions.
