Claire and I were delighted to announce our engagement this August. Early drafts of our wedding invitation list show a strong Reed’s contingent in excess of 40 people which demonstrates just how strong the connection still is with the School. It will be some party I am sure.

You can tell from the photo how happy Amelia and I are in announcing our engagement in April.

Ricky Kent (Capel 2001)

November 2019 brought about my engagement to the wonderful Renee, combining our two little families into one, finally after 7 years!

James Langham (Capel 2006)

I thought I would let you know about both my wedding and the birth of my baby boy in this year’s edition. Aimee and I got married on 6th September 2019 and Alfie James Langham was born 6th June 2020.

It was great to have so many ORs there as you can see from the photos. From left:

Ollie Millroy (Blathwayt 2006)

Delighted to announce that Fern and I got engaged in July in Menorca (when it was safe to go there!).

Ankur Patel (Mullens 2005)

Here’s the story… my lovely fiancé, Harpreet (Lakhan), and I were planning to have a large wedding in Chicago this summer with all our family and friends, however, with COVID-19, our plans had to be postponed. To make the best of the year, we decided to ‘elope’ joined by a few of our local friends to Gold Creek Pond in Washington, about an hour away from our home in Seattle and did the deed on 15th August. Our families (thankfully) were able to stream the wedding on Zoom! We are looking forward to the large celebration with everyone next year!

Toby Tarrant (Blathwayt 2010)

Chuffed to bits to report that I asked my best mate Pippa to marry me in July and she said yes. This feels like a great idea at the moment but ask us again when we’ve spent a few more months together in lockdown!!
