Our Story
How it began
Eleanor and James met in a used bookshop on King Street, both reaching for the last copy of the same novel. James let her have it, then asked for a full report over coffee the following week.
Six years and many shared bookshelves later, James proposed on the Battery at dusk with a note tucked inside that same paperback. We cannot wait to celebrate with the people who made the story worth telling.
