It all began in August 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One sushi date quickly turned into daily phone calls and, soon after, a long-distance relationship full of trips back and forth across the United States, just to spend time together.
In 2024, we moved to London with our beloved dog Saffy, trading airport goodbyes for a life together, and later completed our little family with a much-loved (and very spoiled) puppy, Monty.
Since then, our life together has been full of adventures, from diving with tiger sharks to cycling up Mont Ventoux, along with all the simple, everyday moments that remind us how lucky we are to have found each other.
In July 2026, overlooking the beautiful village of Eze, Tom asked Ella to marry him.
Now we're starting this next chapter in Provence, surrounded by all of our favourite people. We couldn't imagine a more special place to bring everyone together, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!
Two days with the people we love most. Here’s what we have planned.
We’ll begin with a church ceremony in the afternoon, then head to Chateau de Tourreau, where we’ll say “I do” once more in front of all our loved ones, before cocktails, dinner and dancing.
A relaxed lunch by the pool, to make the weekend last just a little longer.
Sarrians, Vaucluse, France
We’d be so happy to welcome you here for a weekend to remember.
