Our Story

We first met back in 2021 while working at Arnold Clark — Greg on the sales floor and Rachel holding everything together in the admin office. After six months of being “just colleagues” (with plenty of flirting in between), we finally went on our first date.

That first date took place at our local, The Lord Lounsdale, for a few Sunday night drinks… which quickly turned into staying until last orders. Greg was conveniently about to head off on three weeks of annual leave, while Rachel had an 8:30am start the next morning — and bravely attempted to keep up, drink for drink, with Greg. Anyone who knows him knows that’s no small challenge! The resulting hangover was legendary… but completely worth it.

One date rolled into another, and almost five years later here we are — sharing a home, getting married, and blessed with our beautiful baby girl, Francesca. From colleagues to partners in life, we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with you.

About the Bride

Rachel Louise Howie

0 Years Old
0 Years Together
0 Holidays Together

Rachel is the caring, thoughtful type who never lets a family milestone pass without a full‑scale celebration (balloons optional, prosecco mandatory). She’s a lifelong fan of a boozy brunch and was once known to appear on top of tables at Bongo’s Bingo rather than beside them. Those days are mostly behind her now—motherhood has transformed her into a woman who can perform an entire Wiggles set list on command. Francesca loves it. Greg, being conveniently deaf, loves it even more.

These days, Rachel can usually be found on a wholesome Starbucks run with Francesca and her tiny ginger Chihuahua, Bella, who behaves like she owns the place.

A fun fact many people don’t know: Rachel spent roughly £2000 learning to drive, passed her test… and then heroically decided never to drive anywhere ever again. A woman of principle.

About the Groom

Greg Wilson

0 Years Old
0 Years Together
0 Trips to Paris Together

Greg is an outgoing guy with a cracking sense of humour, but his ideal night isn’t a wild one — it’s what he proudly calls a “one‑man party.” This involves a fridge full of beers, his favourite telly, and absolutely no witnesses. These solo celebrations have a habit of escalating into 2am YouTube karaoke sessions. The neighbours are… less enthusiastic about his musical journey.

Fatherhood has softened his nightlife considerably. These days, Greg’s wild evenings involve cuddling up with little Francesca and falling asleep before the opening credits finish.

Fun fact many people don’t know: Greg has actually been on TV — he and his niece Eva appeared on CBBC’s Saturday Mash‑Up. Fame hasn’t changed him, though. He still hosts concerts for an audience of zero in the living room.

A Note About Gifts...

Your presence on our special day is truly more than enough.

We’re incredibly lucky and already have everything we need, so gifts are absolutely not expected. Instead, we’d love for you to put that thought towards booking a room and staying the night with us. That way, you can relax, celebrate fully, and enjoy every moment without worrying about the journey home.
