The ceremony
We're getting married at 12:30 at
St Bridget's Church, St Brides Major, CF32 0SH.
It's just a few hundred metres from Anna's family home.
Restrictions mean we're only allowed a very small number of guests in the church, so we'd love it if you could wait outside (or over a pint at the Fox!) We'd be equally happy if you wanted to meet us at our reception venue, St Donat's Castle, at 14:15. We're hoping things change and everyone's allowed inside for the ceremony - we'll update this site and get in touch via text or email if that happens.
The reception
St Donat's is a medieval castle by the sea that was bought by the American newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst in 1925. Hearst was the inspiration for Citizen Kane, and during his ownership the castle was visited by everyone from Charlie Chaplin to future president John F Kennedy.
Transport
If you're driving, there is street parking near the church. St Donat's is a 12 minute drive away, and has a large car park. If you'd like to book at taxi between venues, or to pick you up at the end of the night if you're staying in Bridgend or the Vale of Glamorgan we'd recommend the following companies:
Dragon Taxis Bridgend (formerly Radio Cabs) - 01656 655766
Premier Taxis Bridgend - 01656 333333
If you're heading to Cardiff, it might be best to use a firm based in the city.

Your presence is all we need, so please don't feel obliged to get us anything. But if you'd like to give us a gift, you can find our list here -
Sunday
We're carrying on the celebrations in Anna's parents' garden in St Brides Major on the Sunday.
Lyn and Dave would love it if you could pop round for pizza, burgers, drinks, ice cream, and leftover wedding cake from 13:00. If it rains, we'll go inside!
Let us know if you think you might come so we can stock up on food, but no worries if you change your mind.
Give Daf, Anna, or one of the wedding party a text for the full address.
Children are more than welcome.
