James & Dani

WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!

10th October 2025

Our Story

James and Dani’s journey began on November 17, 2018, when fate brought them together at The Boathouse in Christchurch. From that first date, it was clear, they were smitten, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Their adventure took them from Christchurch to Southampton, where they embarked on their next chapter: renovating their very first home as a couple.

On March 3, 2023, Dani surprised James with the most exciting news imaginable—“I’m pregnant!” Fast forward to November 1, 2023, and their lives were forever transformed with the arrival of little Margeaux. The love story just keeps getting better, as they embrace the joys of parenthood with hearts full of pride and happiness.

James popped the question on Dani’s birthday, but this wasn’t just any birthday surprise, it was set against the backdrop of the iconic band stand in Christchurch. Dani thought the day was all about a celebratory lunch, but James had something even more unforgettable up his sleeve. He chose the very spot opposite where their story began, where their first date unfolded.

For James, Christchurch isn’t just a town; it’s their “happy place,” overflowing with cherished memories shared with each other, Ava, and Joseph.

Children

Gifts

Having you all with us in Spain to celebrate is honestly the best gift we could ask for, thank you for making the trip to be part of our big day! A few of you have asked about gifts, and truth be told, we struggled to think of anything we really need… except a little adventure together! If you’d like to chip in towards our honeymoon, we’d be over the moon (and maybe sipping cocktails on a beach thanks to you!). Please use the link or QR code provided.
