RACHEL & ADRIAN

June 16, 2022

In Their Own Words:

“A benefit of getting married in Bermuda is that the vendors have established relationships with one another, making for easy interactions between vendors,” says Rachel. “This was extremely helpful as we planned the wedding from London. A special shout-out goes to our on-the-day coordinator Rochelle Quinn, managing partner of Apex Bermuda Destination Management, for ensuring the day ran without the smallest of hitches.”

OUR FAVOURITE FEATURES: With a history rooted in West Africa, Gombeys are an iconic symbol of resilience and freedom in Bermuda. It was extremely important for Rachel and Adrian to honour this part of their heritage on their big day. H&H Gombeys delivered a dynamic, personal, and deeply emotional performance which ended up being a huge highlight of the day.

Rachel and Adrian are both Bermudians and have known one another since they were young. They were properly introduced at a Super Bowl party in 2014. The two spent time together as part of a group of friends for a few months before Adrian mustered up the courage to ask Rachel out on a date. Love came quickly after that, and Adrian proposed to Rachel in April 2021 at London’s Pergola Gardens at Hampstead Heath.

One of the couple’s first dates was a picnic at Heydon Trust, which became a special spot for the two of them. With almost 300 guests at their wedding, Rachel and Adrian wanted to carve out time for just the two of them, so after the ceremony they exchanged private vows at the Heydon Trust Chapel.

In honour of the couple’s strong, proud Bermudian heritage, Adrian’s wedding band, created by Davidrose, includes Bermuda cedar. Davidrose also designed Rachel’s engagement ring and wedding band.
