Phil & Faye

Our Story

We met in 2018, on Philip’s birthday of all days, outside a nightclub called 7, at an hour we definitely should not have been seen out at our age.

But somehow, from that very first moment, it felt like it was always meant to be.

Over the years, our love has only grown stronger. We have loved each other through the happiest moments, the hardest moments, and everything in between. Even in our darkest times, our bond has never broken. It has only reminded us that what we have is real, rare, and something we were always meant to find.

It may have taken us the best part of 30 years to get here, but on the 2nd of November, we finally get to celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together.
