Clara & James
We would be delighted to have you with us for a weekend shaped by family, good food and the people we love most.
Our Love Story
The milestones that brought Clara & James to this sacred day
The First Encounter
A quiet afternoon in the historic Radcliffe Camera. An accidental exchange of leather-bound notebooks led to coffee at The Grand Café, sparking an evening of conversation that neither wanted to end.
Summer in Florence
Our first international journey together. Wandering through Renaissance gardens at sunset, overlooking the Duomo, and realizing that our lives and futures were irrevocably intertwined.
The Central Park Proposal
On a serene snow-dusted morning under the historic bridge, surrounded by soft violin strings and winter light, James asked Clara to spend the rest of her life by his side.
The Solemnization of Marriage
Together with our esteemed families and dearest friends, we seal our sacred vows and begin the grandest chapter of our lives together.
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
