‘Why Wales?’ you say.
Well, despite only being a stone’s throw away from the Isle of Man, we’ve developed something of a soft spot for nearby Wales.
Road-tripping across Wales for our first holiday as a couple, to windswept beach days in the Gower with pals, idyllic camping on the edge of Snowdonia, plentiful hilltop walks, local food and drink galore, even festivals in miniature “Italian” towns…. this lovely country is filled-to-the-brim with beautiful people and places, and we’re excited about celebrating in a little corner of it with you.
You may know that we both have family connections with Wales. Will’s mum Pam is half Welsh, north to be precise; while Sam’s grandfather on her Dad’s side was the Welsh singer Howard Jones, from small mining town Pontypridd, and lead vocalist with 40s & 50s number one chart-toppers, the Joe Loss Band. Wales is still home to some of Sam’s family.
Family aside, we’ve come to spend time in Wales in recent years. There’s lots to see, visit and experience; the food, accommodation and camping tend to be top-notch. It isn’t too difficult to get to and we definitely recommend soaking it up and having a little look around whilst you’re there.
Now, this all said, the weather is certainly not Wales’ strongest selling point. We fully expect a bit of drizzle over the wedding weekend, so come with an open mind to summer showers and the occasional downpour, or three…
Rain or shine, we’re delighted to be inviting you to make some special memories with us over our wedding weekend.
