Welcome to our corner of the internet, a place created especially for the people we adore the most. We are incredibly grateful that you are here, because this celebration wouldn't be the same without you. After almost ten years of growing up, laughing through life's highs, supporting each other through the lows, and building a love that has become our home, we cannot wait to stand before our family and friends on 19th February 2027 and promise each other forever.

This day is about so much more than a wedding. It is about celebrating love, family, friendships, and every person who has been part of our journey to this moment. We hope this website helps you find everything you need for our big day, from the venue details and accommodation to the RSVP information. Most of all, we hope it gives you a glimpse into how excited and thankful we are to celebrate this new chapter with you. We cannot wait to make unforgettable memories together, surrounded by the people who have helped shape our story and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Our Journey to This Day

Our Story

Their story officially began in 2017, at a party, when two 15-year-olds from completely different schools somehow found their way to each other. Tyler was at an all-girls school, Connan was at an all-boys school, and neither of them had any idea that one party would be the beginning of the rest of their lives. Although, technically, it wasn't their first meeting. They had actually crossed paths at a running event years before. Tyler insists she was winning. Connan insists he didn't trip her. Nearly ten years later, there is still no agreement on what actually happened, and for the sake of their marriage, they've decided to leave that mystery unsolved. They started dating in 2017, and somewhere between finishing school, growing up, and figuring out life together, they became best friends. Connan still tells everyone about one of their first dates, when Tyler arrived wearing white shorts and a white cropped T-shirt. Apparently, that was the exact moment he knew he was going to marry her. At 15. Based entirely on an outfit. Annoyingly... he was right. It's almost impossible to fit nearly ten years into a few paragraphs. They grew up together, watching each other become completely different people while somehow never losing the parts of themselves that fell in love in the first place. Of course, there were teenage hormones, arguments that felt like matters of national importance, and two sets of parents constantly reminding them that school was actually important. But there was also an incredible amount of love, laughter, and support. Eventually, after almost nine years together, Connan decided it was time to make his prediction official. First, he had to ask Tyler's parents for permission. He had prepared a heartfelt speech about how much he loved their daughter... until he walked in and found Tyler's dad casually cleaning his prized knife collection. The speech disappeared instantly. Instead, Connan panicked, pulled out the ring box, and simply said: "What do you think of this?" Romance. Elegance. Composure. Nailed it. Somehow, permission was granted. Then came 31 December 2025 in Mozambique. Connan had secretly arranged the most beautiful beach proposal, with their family setting up roses while the two of them walked down to the beach. There was just one small logistical problem. He decided the safest place to hide the ring was... under his balls. So Tyler spent the walk wondering why Connan was walking strangely, acting suspiciously, and looking like he urgently needed medical attention. To calm his nerves, he downed a beer. He almost threw up. By the time they reached the beach, Connan spotted the roses and started walking towards them, ready for the biggest moment of their lives. There was just one person who didn't know the plan. Sweet, oblivious Tyler. Completely horrified by Connan's proposal etiquette, she stopped him because he was "going to ruin someone else's proposal." Except... it was theirs. Somehow, they wouldn't change a single second of it. Because that's probably the best way to describe their story. It has never been perfectly polished. It's been funny, chaotic, occasionally ridiculous, and completely theirs. They've had the privilege of knowing every version of each other: the awkward teenage versions, the stubborn versions, the figuring-life-out versions, and now the versions ready to become husband and wife. Through every season, one thing has never changed: they've always chosen each other. After nearly ten years, one alleged tripping incident, one pair of white shorts, a terrifying knife collection, a forgotten speech, a very questionable hiding place for a ring, one almost-vomited beer, and Tyler desperately trying to save someone else's proposal... they finally get to marry their best friend. And they can't wait to see what the next chapter brings.

The People We Love

Our Wedding Party

Maid of Honour

Leah

More than just a Maid of Honour, she’s the best friend every bride needs by her side. She’s been there through some of the toughest times, celebrated the very best ones, and has been a constant through every chapter in between. A friendship built on love, loyalty and countless memories, she’s not just a best friend, but family. There simply couldn’t be anyone more special to stand beside the bride on one of the most important days of her life.

Bridesmaid

Camryn

The bubbly one who brings her own little ray of sunshine wherever she goes. Having known Camryn for so many years, she has been there for countless memories, laughs and special moments along the way. Her infectious energy and beautiful heart make her such a special friend, and the bride couldn’t imagine the day without her by her side.

Bridesmaid

Georgina

A friend through every chapter and the one who will always bring a little weirdness along for the ride. Georgina is the kind of friend who makes life more fun simply by being herself. Through changing seasons, endless laughs and all the moments in between, she has remained a special part of the bride’s story - and it wouldn’t feel right celebrating this chapter without her.

Bridemaid

Reese

A friendship that came at exactly the right stage of life. With so many similarities and walking through the same seasons together, Reese has become a true constant in the bride’s life. Someone who understands, supports and just gets it without needing much explanation. What started as a friendship has grown into something incredibly special, and the bride feels so lucky to have her beside her as they both navigate this chapter of life.

Bridesmaid

Jade

One of the originals. Having been friends since 2015, Jade has been part of the bride’s life for over a decade and has been there through so many different versions of her. It’s a friendship filled with years of memories, growing up together and always finding their way back to one another. Having one of her oldest friends standing beside her on this day means more than words can say.

Best Man

Braydan

Brother by blood, best mate for life and the obvious choice for Best Man. Braydan and the groom have shared a lifetime of memories, arguments, laughs and brotherly chaos. There’s no one else he’d rather have standing beside him on the big day — although giving him a microphone for the speech may have been a questionable decision.

Groomsman

Franco

A friendship that goes all the way back to the school days. Franco has been around through the different phases, questionable decisions and countless good memories along the way. After all these years, he’s still one of the guys the groom can always count on — and naturally had to be part of the wedding party.

Groomsman

Joshua

Another friendship that has survived all the way from the school days to adulthood — which says a lot considering what probably happened in between. Joshua has been there through years of memories, laughs and growing up together. One of the originals, and someone the groom is proud to have standing alongside him on the day.

Groomsman

Michael

Long-time friend and quite possibly the human version of an energy drink. Michael brings energy wherever he goes and can always be relied on to get the party going. Many years, plenty of memories and probably very few quiet nights later, the groom couldn’t imagine celebrating without him.

Groomsman

Ethan

Every group needs a superhero, and unfortunately ours came dressed as Spider-Man. Ethan is always up for a laugh, never afraid to commit to the occasion and has made plenty of memories with the groom over the years. A great mate, a guaranteed good time and hopefully attending the wedding as himself.

Groomsman

Jodi

Proof that it’s not always about how long you’ve known someone. Jodi came into the picture a little later, but very quickly became one of the groom’s closest mates. A friendship built on plenty of laughs, good times, and probably a few stories that are better left off the wedding website.

With Love & Gratitude

Our Parents

Parents of the Groom

Two of the most important people in his life, and a huge part of the man he has become. Through every chapter, they have been there with unconditional love, guidance, encouragement, and a home that has always felt like home. Their love and support have shaped so much of who he is today, and having them beside us as we begin this new chapter means more than words can say. We are incredibly grateful for everything they have done, everything they continue to do, and most of all, for the love and family they have given us.

Parents of the Bride

Where so many of her happiest memories began. They have filled her life with laughter, strength, warmth, and a love that has never wavered. From the little moments that no one else sees to the milestones they’ve celebrated together, they have always been such an important part of her story. As she steps into this beautiful new chapter, having them there to watch their daughter say “I do” makes the day that much more meaningful. A lifetime of memories behind them, and so many more still to come.
