We met at work and quickly became best friends, the kind who knew everything about one another. The kind who laughed a little louder together, lingered a little longer after conversations ended, and found comfort in simply being side by side. Over the next seven years, life unfolded around us. Careers evolved. Chapters closed and began again. He even left the company three times, yet somehow always found his way back. It felt as though something greater was gently guiding us, quietly refusing to let us drift too far from one another. To everyone else, it was obvious. The classic will they, won’t they that had our friends patiently waiting for us to realise what they had seen all along. They told us often. We smiled and dismissed it, convinced we were simply best friends, telling ourselves the timing was never quite right. So we stayed where we were, building a friendship rooted in trust, laughter, and an unspoken understanding. Without noticing, that steady foundation was deepening into something neither of us could ignore forever. Until one day, it changed. What had always felt natural suddenly felt undeniable. The love that had been quietly growing in the background stepped forward. It was gentle. It was certain. It felt like coming home. After seven years of laughter, loyalty, and a love that quietly grew stronger with time, we realised we were never simply best friends. We were home for one another. We were always meant to find our way here. And now, we get to spend forever choosing the person who has always felt like home 🤍

Jake knew how much the proposal meant to Yasmine. She had always said that when the moment came, she wanted it captured on film, something she could look back on forever and relive the happiness. Wanting everything to be perfect, Jake quietly created a plan. With the help of their friend Ollie, who pretended to be filming a promotional video for The Ginger Pig in Brighton, Jake set the scene. What Yasmine did not know was that there was no promotional video. When she agreed to take part, she had no idea she was stepping into one of the most important moments of her life. On the day, they both got ready at work. Jake was noticeably nervous, though Yasmine could not quite understand why. When they arrived at the venue, she was gently blindfolded, assuming it was part of the filming and thinking nothing of it. She was guided through the restaurant and into a private dining room. When the blindfold was removed, giant illuminated letters spelling “Marry Me” stood before her, surrounded by rose petals and countless candles. The room felt intimate and beautifully set, more romantic than she could have imagined. Jake took her hands, got down on one knee, and spoke about their friendship, their journey, and the life he wanted to build with her. Then he asked her to be his wife. With a full heart and not a single doubt, Yasmine said yes.

Our wedding will be a black tie celebration, and we would love for you to embrace the occasion fully. We are hoping the day feels glamorous, polished, and beautifully put together, with floor-length gowns, elevated tailoring, statement pieces, and confident elegance all warmly encouraged. This is the perfect excuse to dress up and lean into the moment. The more fabulous, the better! Yasmine has always been known for being a little extra, so would you really expect anything less? For the gentlemen: We kindly ask for black tie attire with a tuxedo. For the ladies: Floor-length gowns are encouraged. As a gentle request, we kindly ask that champagne-coloured dresses are avoided so the bridal party may stand out. We cannot wait to see you all looking incredible ✨
