The Details

The Jones / Rutland family merger will be taking place in Cyprus. We’d love for you to be there to witness the official joining of forces, but we fully appreciate that travelling abroad isn’t for everyone. No pressure, no guilt. we will still like you even if you can’t make the journey.

The Ceremony

The ceremony will take place on the beach at Aphrodites Rock on 12.05.2027 at 3pm. There will be sand, sea, and two people making it legally official.

unfortunately spaces at the ceremony are limited, so we’ve had to be very selective with who can attend, if you weren’t invited to the ceremony, you are still welcome to come to Cyprus, and attend any other wedding festivities

The wedding is also taking place on a public beach, so if you wanted to try your luck and stand in the background, you’re welcome to do that too.

Accommodation

We’ll be staying at Alexander the Great Hotel in Paphos. You’re very welcome to stay there too, but feel free to book elsewhere if that suits you better. We’ll share hotel details and recommendations once everything is confirmed.

The Reception

After the ceremony, we’ll be heading to a local taverna for dinner, drinks, and general post-merger celebrations. Expect good food, relaxed vibes, and no assigned seating charts (location to be confirmed)
