With love, always
A little letter, a lifetime of love
Classic, ethereal, sculptured. The colours of Monet meet the romance of Pride and Prejudice.
Until we meet in the garden
299days
Paris, where it all began
01 / The beginning
A little serendipity. A lifetime together.
Community & belonging
We met through friends in Paris in 2021 — the kind of evening that starts with borrowed chairs and ends with everyone walking home together. From the first week, our people folded into one circle. This wedding is as much a thank-you to that community as it is a celebration of us.
Arts & literature
Our dates are museums, second-hand bookshops, and long arguments about endings. Monet’s gardens taught us to love soft colour; Austen taught us that romance can be intelligent and a little mischievous. Expect both in the weekend ahead.
Movement & stillness
We love a train ticket and an early swim — and we equally love doing nothing at all. Gaël proposed at sunset on the Seine, with the city humming behind us and the water finally quiet. That balance of motion and stillness is the pace we want for our marriage.
02 / Three days, one beautiful memory
A weekend garden festival
Come for the vows. Stay for picnic blankets, blind karaoke, and one more dance under the Marquis.

Built in the 1890s in a neo-gothic spirit, Château du Val sits among gardens, woodland, and water — a private estate made for long tables and barefoot lawns. We cannot wait to welcome you there.
