Sven and Valerie's Wedding

A Whole New World

As many of you know this step has been almost 5 years in the making.

After a wonderful friendship in Hamburg, a whirlwind romance start in London and almost 3 years in a long-distance relationship we took the leap to build a home for ourselves in Primrose Hill.

Despite the challenges that life brings, we are so thankful to be where we are and to the people that have helped us get here.

We want to celebrate with you - the beauty of connection, of circumstance and of Love and hope that you will be able to make it.

Wedding

Kia Ora and Moin in Cowley!

We are thrilled to celebrate our wedding with you from

3-5 October 2025.

This special occasion marks the beginning of our journey together and we are excited to take the leap with you.

BUilding a home away from home

Sven and I love our home in London but coming from New Zealand and Germany respectively it took some time to grow roots where we are.

We are lucky that we have family here and some places that have shaped us over the years.

Here are a couple of places that may give you some insight into the life that we live here if you are interested in exploring when you come to the UK in October.

1. Primrose HIll

'A Village in the City'

This is our home and where we move from. Arguably the nicest viewing platform of London, a running track and a Pub that serves Veltins on tap.

2. Cheltenham Ladies' College in Cheltenham

Valerie attended Cheltenham Ladies' college in Gloucestershire (just a stone's throw from Cowley Manor) from the age of 13-15. A girl's school once described as a 'hotbed for feminism' served as an early encounter with many different cultures and concepts.

3. Rosslyn Coffee

Moorgate

As our working hours don't allow for dinners on weeknights we have the ritual of getting our morning coffee together every day. Therefore we can be found reliably at Rosslyn coffee between 8.30-9 am every morning.
