Our Story

2019

How It All Began

It was a rainy Tuesday in Dublin when two souls found each other in the most unexpected of places. James was reaching for the last copy of a Jane Austen novel — Olivia had been eyeing it all morning.

What started as a dispute over a book became a four-hour conversation over coffee, then a walk through the park, then countless adventures across Ireland and beyond. Six years later, here we are — ready to say "I do" at the castle we dreamed about on our very first date.
