Welcome to Cliff & Natalie's wedding.
Cliff
Natalie
Cliff and Natalie met whilst both studying at the University of Brighton, Cliff studying for Aerospace Engineering with Space Technology and Natalie studying Architecture. Brought together through a shared group of friends from Natalie's architecture course, they quickly discovered a shared sense of humor, a mutual love of music and live shows.
Over the years, they’ve cheered each other on through studies, careers, adventures, and all the everyday moments in between. Now, they’re so excited to be taking the next step together and can’t wait to celebrate with the people they love most.
