The Georgian Townhouse Wedding
The Proposal
The proposal perfectly encapsulates our dynamic. Our harmony is so profound that we hardly ever find ourselves at odds with one another. Yet, amidst a rare and intense disagreement, we paused, looked at each other, and in that moment, knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
The Vision
Our aim was to create a timeless atmosphere, allowing ourselves and our guests to transcend the constraints of time. To achieve this, we opted for a colour scheme of white and blue, which also served as the dress code for our loved ones. We wanted to strike a balance between traditional wedding elements and personal touches that reflected our unique personalities. Moreover, we sought to honour the queer community’s progress, paving the way for our own union. Our ultimate goal was to create an immersive experience that would transport our guests from their everyday reality into the vibrant world of drag culture – a feat we successfully accomplished.

The Venue
Your Outfits
Martin, the groom, opted for a timeless approach by donning a classic blue three-piece suit paired with a stylish bow tie. In contrast, his counterpart, Callum, chose to make a statement with a crisp white HUGO suit, complemented by an off-white turtle neck and matching white shoes. As the evening unfolded, Callum transformed into groom number two, reappearing in a stunning navy ensemble that mirrored their daytime attire.
The Ceremony & Music
Our special day was influenced by the enchanting Disney short ‘Paperman’, which holds significant importance for our relationship. To bring this inspiration to life, we incorporated music from the film’s soundtrack, specifically ‘Paperman’ by B.Kudanowski, into our ceremony. The traditional vows we exchanged were a deliberate choice, allowing us to share in the timeless beauty of these universal promises. Rather than confetti, we opted for a unique and sentimental finale: having our loved ones write heartfelt messages on paper planes, which they then threw at us, filling the air with joyous sentiments.
The Styling & Decor
As the festivities unfolded, it was clear that this was no ordinary wedding celebration. The color palette of white and blue dominated every aspect of the decor, from the flowers to the paper cups, creating a visually stunning backdrop for the big day. In fact, even the dress code got in on the act, with women donning all-white attire and men sporting blue ensembles. But that was just the beginning. Upon arrival, guests were treated to an unforgettable display of drag queens strutting their stuff. And when the pop cork celebration kicked off after the ceremony, things took a wild turn with some truly mesmerizing circus acts taking center stage. The party didn’t slow down there, though – next up was a rousing game of drag bingo at the wedding breakfast, followed by an evening filled with jaw-dropping cabaret performances and topped off with an electrifying DJ set that had everyone dancing till they dropped.
Your Photographer
It’s impossible to imagine the event unfolding as beautifully as it did without the incredible talent of Camilla Andrea Photography. Her presence was truly the icing on the cake, and we’re forever grateful for the memories she helped capture.
The Honeymoon
Our Italian adventure began in Verona, where we immersed ourselves in the city’s romantic charm before making our way to Venice, known for its stunning canals and ornate bridges. From there, we headed to Lake Garda, a serene haven amidst the bustling cities. Next stop was Milan, where we marveled at the iconic Duomo and shopped along the trendy Corso Como. Florence, with its breathtaking Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, left us in awe of its artistic heritage. Finally, our journey concluded in Rome, where ancient ruins like the Colosseum and Roman Forum whispered tales of a bygone era.
Memorable Moments
The entire day turned out to be a cherished memory, filled with moments that showcased the unique aspects of our friends’ and family’s lives coming together in celebration of not just our wedding, but also who we are as a couple. One pivotal moment stood out – seeing Martins’ dad step into his son’s world with unwavering joy and love. His passing had left a void, making Martin’s experience all the more special. It was as if Martins’ dad was present in spirit, embracing his son’s life with the same enthusiasm he would have in person.
