Us

As many of you know we met through Tim when he was studying in Marseille. Jordan came to celebrate New Year 2019 in Bideford, after which we became pen pals. It didn’t take long for “pen pals” to turn into a long distance love.

We know how incredibly lucky we are to have found each other and to have welcomed our two beautiful children into the world. To us, getting married is the final step in cementing our family. We would love for you to be there to celebrate our special day with us.

Your presence is more than enough for us, so we are not asking for any gifts. We appreciate there are already substantial costs for attending, such as travel and accomodation. However, should you wish to make a donation to our chosen charity, more information will be shared closer to the day.

Venue

Old Down Country Park

The venue for the ceremony and reception is all in one place, set inside a beautiful country park we have enjoyed visiting as a family. The reception will be held inside but we will also have exclusive use of the large walled garden and a toddler play area. Depending on the weather, the ceremony may be held outside and we hope to also enjoy the large outdoor space for aperitif, games and photos. It will be a very family friendly affair with lots of opportunity for little ones to play!

The park itself features open woodland, beautiful gardens, adventure play areas and animal parks, as well as an onsite spa. With so much to do we would recommend setting some time aside to enjoy it, either the morning of the wedding or the day after. Should you be so lucky, you will also get to meet Kevin, the resident peacock.

Free onsite parking is available in the Country Park car park.
