Nathan & Matthew

We're getting married!

The Love Story of Nathan & Matthew
It all began on a chilly December afternoon in Swansea at The Pump House, where a simple swipe right blossomed into something extraordinary. Their first date sparked an undeniable connection, and as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Day 2019, they sealed their romance with a kiss that promised endless adventures ahead.

As the weeks turned into months, Matthew and Nathan unknowingly wrote the first magical chapters of their future lives together, creating a tapestry of memories filled with laughter, love, and travel.

These moments became a foundation of security as they moved in together - though it was clear their home was not a place but instead eachother.

With welcoming Luna, a home became a family and soon enough, under the stars beneath the iconic Statue of Liberty, they embraced their love fully, saying "Yes" to forever.

Now, after more than six beautiful years together, they invite you to celebrate their marriage and the journey that lies ahead. Join us in honouring their love story as they step into this next chapter hand in hand.




With thanks to the wedding party..

As a long standing friend to the Clark Twins, he is a large part of their lives and has become a close friend to Nathan also. Living close to Matthew, Nathan, Daniel and Annie, Steve and his wife Erica can regularly be found in the local pubs for a social catch up or for quiz nights as a group.

Rebecca - Groomslady

Rebecca, Matthew & Nathan
On one hand, Rebecca/Becky is Nathan’s “big-little” sister. They grew up together through all of childhood ups and downs side-by-side. However, Rebecca and Matthew now share a particular closeness, with a fond love for one another while they enjoy spending time walking with Luna and Rebecca’s dog Trixie.

Whilst on one hand Annie is Matthew and Nathan’s sister-in-law, with being married to Daniel. She is a loved part of the family, regularly spending time with the boys with her family in tow.

Long standing friend to Nathan, Ben is a loving, caring soul with a huge heart.

Liam
Whilst biologically Liam is Nathan’s nephew, he is most certainly “Uncle Matthew’s boy”. Where we like to think there’s no favourite uncle, this is questionable!
