Dearest loved ones
What a divine time to celebrate our union.
So much gratitude to everyone who generously contributed their time and energy to help create magic at every moment.
Also thanks to all those in our wider communities who came and shared our special day.
As we move to wrap up and collect ourselves in our new combined energies we have a few requests:
