January 11, 2025
We can't wait to celebrate our special day with all of you!
Our love story
Sophia and Matt met in April 2019, in London as each other’s first Hinge date, during Sophia's masters’ at the Royal College of Music and Matt’s first year of work. They very quickly fell in love and things were “official” within the month! After many long periods of separation during the pandemic, they decided to move in together in Brighton where they have been since April 2021.
Matt planned a surprise trip to Florence in August 2023; Sophia only found out where they were going at the gate! After a series of twists and turns in his original proposal plan, Matt got down on one knee and gave a romantic and beautiful speech asking Sophia to marry him.
We’re excited to be taking the next step, together with all of you!
Getting here
By Car
Arundel is fairly accessible by car, located just off the A27. From London, it's approximately a 2-hour drive. Arundel can be awkward for parking, so you might want park at Goodwood House or Hotel first and take the wedding bus to the Cathedral.
By Train
The nearest train station is Arundel Station, with regular services from London Victoria, Gatwick Airport, and other major stations.
Goodwood is a bit trickier - we'd suggest either staying overnight, or organising a shared ride to Chichester station.
Accommodation
We have a block of rooms available at the The Goodwood Hotel. After RSVPing, check out the Travel & Stay page for more information.
Honeymoon fund
We have been living together for over three years now and have the things we need for our home. We will be following the traditional Chinese form of wedding gift-giving which are lucky red packets wishing us good fortune, and blessing our marriage with happiness. We would love to go on our dream honeymoon across Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea. We would be most grateful for your help to get there!
These blessings will be received with much gratitude and deep appreciation. They can be given on the day, alternatively, our joint bank account details can be found below.
