Our Story

Leon and Lauren first met at Bestival, a music festival, through mutual friends. They hit it off instantly and spent the whole weekend talking, laughing and dancing under the stars. Little did they know that this was the beginning of a long-distance love story that would take them on a journey of a lifetime. At the time, Leon was living in Hong Kong, working as a surf instructor, and Lauren was living in Ibiza...partying. Despite the distance, they made sure to stay in touch and visit each other as much as possible. Over the next few months, their love for each other grew stronger, and they realized that they didn't want to be apart anymore. So, they made the big decision to move to London together and start a new life in the city. They both loved the energy and excitement of London, and they quickly made it their home. They explored the city together, trying new restaurants and visiting new places, and they felt like they were on top of the world. However, their plans to move to Australia were put on hold when COVID-19 hit, and they were forced to rethink their plans. Instead, they decided to travel around Europe in their van, Tina. They had the time of their lives, visiting new countries and experiencing new cultures. They were grateful for the time they had together and the memories they were creating. Eventually, they decided to settle down and bought a house together. They also grew their family and got a cat called Rou, who quickly became their furry little companion. They were finally living their dream life, and they couldn't be happier. Now, they are waiting to get married and start the next chapter of their lives together. They are grateful for the journey that brought them together and for the love that has kept them together. They know that wherever life takes them, they will always have each other.
