Our Story
We first met at primary school, often walking home together as we lived in similar directions, before life sent us off to different secondary schools and in different directions. Years later, in 2019 just before Covid, we reconnected online and everything quickly fell into place.
We moved in together during lockdown into Robert’s tiny university accommodation (That set up did not last long!), and in 2023 a “surprise” trip to Wales became even more memorable when we got engaged.
Bethany Leonard
I’m Beth — a book lover with a soft spot for gardening, cosy days, and good company. I’m usually happiest slowing down and enjoying the little things. I can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you!
Robert Dishman
I’m Robert — lover of all things nerdy (Beth included). I’m usually tinkering with a gadget or lost in a sea of half-finished projects. I can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you!
People are weird. When we find someone with weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love.
