Archontia
Welcome!
We are very grateful that you are travelling to be with us for our wedding this summer!
This celebration is about bringing together the people who matter to us, honouring where we come from, and celebrating the life we are choosing to build together. It brings together cultures, families, and ways of living that have shaped who we are.
About us
We met offline in Manchester and became close friends, but didn't start dating until much later.
We travel well together; both curious, adaptable, and comfortable moving between places and rhythms.
We also cook often, experimenting with the culinary intersections across two cultures through our personal heritage.

FAQ
Is there a dress code?
The dress code for the wedding ceremony and dinner is formal.
The theme of the wedding is pastels - olive green, ivory, beige, light blue - but the colour scheme is just a suggestion. Please wear what feels right to you, ideally something comfortable and appropriate for warm weather and outdoor settings.
Will there be religious or traditional elements?
Yes, some moments include Greek Orthodox and Chinese traditions. There is no expectation for guests to participate or know anything in advance, you are very welcome to simply observe and be present.
Do we need to bring a gift?
Your presence is more than enough. If you would like to mark the occasion, details will be shared separately, but there’s no expectation.
Will events be outdoors?
Some parts of the celebration will take place outdoors. We recommend bringing sun protection and comfortable footwear, especially for walking on uneven ground.
