Story

Four years ago, fate brought Chloe and Andy together on the chin up bar at the gym. During lockdown, they found themselves meeting up in the park to train together, strengthening not just their hammies but also their relationship. Over time, what started as a friendship blossomed into something much deeper. They discovered a shared love for travel, food, adventure and animals - things that continue to bring them closer.

Together they dream of exploring more of the world, building a family, and one day having a home with enough land to fill with animals of all shapes and sizes. They chose Dorset to get married because of their love of the New Forest.
