Annette & Adam
28 June, 2025 · Pembroke College, Oxford, UK
Please join us on 28th June, 2025, as we celebrate our wedding in Oxford.
Annette’s Story
Annette grew up in Korb near Stuttgart in Germany. She loves dancing, playing the flute, and travelling around the world. She now lives in Oxford and works as Associate Professor in Global Security.
Adam’s Story
Adam was born in the North East of England and loves parties, adventure and mischief. He now lives in Oxford and works in Computational Biology at the university.
Our Relationship
We met in 2022, in Oxford. Our first date was spent walking around the University Park chatting for 3 hours before Annette left late to meet her friends. We hit it off immediately, bonding over our love of science and politics. We had a magical time together during our first year of dating, and we both knew it was time to move in together. We got engaged in December 2023, had our civil marriage in March 2024, were joined by our little Schatz in April 2024 - and now we're celebrating our wedding!
