We wanted to celebrate our marriage in our own way — in a relaxed and beautiful setting, with the people we love the most. So this isn’t a traditional wedding: no Ceremony, no First Dance... but there will be BOOZE, FOOD, MUSIC, DANCING & CAKE.

DRESS CODE

It will be hot in the Dordogne in August, so we really just want you to feel COMFORTABLE. But Please be as sartorially OUTRAGEOUS and UNRULY as you like.

For those of you who enjoy a theme, for 'The Party' please interpret as you will 'Hedonism & Glamour: The Beautiful and the Damned'. 1930’s Hollywood debauchery. Margot Robbie in Babylon. Kate Moss’s 30th Birthday party. Bias cut dresses, backless gowns. Studio 54. Edie Sedgwick. The Talented Mr Ripley. Jane Birkin at Cannes.

A nod to all those who knew how to party even better than us. Wear something you LOVE but have had no place to wear it.

On Day Two at The After's , feel free to embrace the 90's & Noughties theme. Oasis Bucket Hat's and Adidas Spezial welcome.

LITTLE ONES

While we absolutely adore your little ones, both party days are planned as grown-up celebrations. We haven’t made arrangements for children — there won’t be a crèche, and they haven’t been included in the food headcount. That said, we completely understand how tricky childcare can be, and we’d much rather you come with kids than not come at all. Just know the setup is more geared toward the adults. Please include your child's name in your RSVP

THE CHATEAU

The Dordogne is an area close to our hearts and we are so excited to enjoy this place with so many of our loved ones. The 17th century CHATEAU DES TRUFFLES sits in a tree lined valley offering 184 acres of estate boasting rose, herb and fruit tree gardens and a beautiful lake to enjoy.

There are plenty of facilities which we hope you will make use of including a large swimming pool and sauna, however should you wish to extend your trip, the surrounding countryside begs to be explored - within 10 minutes of the estate you’ll find excellent sporting opportunities: golf, canoeing, go-karts and tennis. Travel further to Montignac (30km) or Périgueux (35km) for more bustling medieval towns with wonderful markets. To find the centre of the region's wine production, head south to Bergerac (48km), where the hillsides beside the Dordogne river are an oenophile's delight.
