Our story

A library, a borrowed pen, and a promise

We met in the reading room of the Bodleian, when Eleanor asked a stranger to borrow a pen and never gave it back. James says he has been waiting for it ever since.

Eight autumns later, we are making it official in the house where his grandparents married. Join us for a weekend of tradition and celebration.
