Broek in Waterland, NL
Welcome — we’re so happy you’re here! 🩷
After meeting in 2021, our story quickly turned into something neither of us expected. What started with messages and video calls soon became train rides and long-distance countdowns. Six months later we decided we’d had enough of saying goodbye and moved in together in Almere.
Fast forward to February 9th, 2026, Raphael proposed at the beautiful Hortus Botanicus Leiden and of course, Julia said yes. Which brings us to today.
Now we’re excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story with the people we love most. We’ve created this website to share all the details about the day. You’ll find information about the schedule, travel, accommodation, and more in the other sections.
Location
We will be getting married on 30 January 2027 at the lovely Broekerhuis in Broek in Waterland. This little town is located just 15 minutes from Amsterdam.
The 30th of January is extra special to us, as the wedding anniversary of Julia’s grandparents is on the 31st. It feels like the perfect way to honor their love of 70 years while beginning our own marriage.
We’re planning a relaxed, cozy celebration filled with good food, music, laughter, and the people who mean the world to us.
