they were both in the same kindergarten class at Cayman Prep School,
it wasn’t until their teens that they became friends and bonded over
their shared experiences of attending boarding school in the UK. Their
romance began at a New Year’s Eve party in 2007 when they kissed at the
stroke of midnight. A week later, Simon turned up on Harriet’s doorstep
in London, where she was attending university, and he never left.
On Christmas Eve 2016, the couple drove their dogs up to Beach Bay
under the guise of helping Simon’s parents move furniture for Christmas
dinner. Simon proposed on the far end of Beach Bay after suggesting
they stop and take the dogs for a walk on the beach. That evening, they
attended the annual Christmas Eve party hosted by their close family
friends, allowing them to celebrate the engagement with their loved ones.
The wedding was held at a private home in Omega Bay, surrounded
by gardens filled with lush tropical greenery and a white sandy beachfront
littered with palm trees. Since the location was already so beautiful, this
allowed the couple to focus on creating small, visual delights to bring
their “ethereal chic, with a touch of botanical elegance” vision to life.
In the months leading up to the big day, the pair brought back various
decor items from abroad, such as raffia placemats, linen napkins, tassel
place cards, and tropical throw cushions. They took the time to work out
exactly where items would be placed, how the canapés would be plated,
and how the tables would be laid out to ensure every moment of the day
was perfect and flowed seamlessly. Celebrations Ltd provided day-of
coordination, as well as floral and decor design. Buses from Webster’s
Tours and a boat from Caribbean Marine Services Ltd. provided
transportation to and from the venue.
An astrological chart of the stars on the night
of the wedding was gifted to the couple and
displayed at the ceremony.
