Paul and Francesco
W
e met in London almost ten years ago in
front of the Dominion Theatre, arranged
through a friends meet-up group online. We
hit it off very quickly and both felt
something special on the first night we met.
We promised ourselves to each other about four
months after we initially met, under a fountain in Florence.
We always knew that one day we would get married, and
suddenly we both decided that 2015 was going to be the
year, after nearly ten years of being together. It just felt like
the right time for the both of us.
Since we both live in Birmingham now, and most of our
guests were coming from abroad, we wanted something
central and convenient – but with character and
uniqueness and not a traditional venue. We went to a
wedding fair at the Rep after searching for possible venues
online, and straightaway we knew this would be the place.
Being a theatre, it had a unique charm, and the staff were
also very friendly and attentive, so we decided this would
be the place.
