Our Story

Our story began in 2022, when fate (and a good pint/half-pint of cider) brought us together at the Cross Keys pub in York. Nat was studying at the University of York, and Matt was working at the British Library. What started as a friendly conversation soon turned into something special, filled with laughter, lots of WhatsApp messages and stickers, good food, and countless train rides between cities. In 2025, Nat made the move to the UK so we could finally start our life together in the same place, no more airport goodbyes! Now, we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of our story with you.
