NOW AIN’T THAT JUST BLOODY LOVELY!
A few years ago, a young lady from Texas came to work with us at the Doghouse. She was only with us for a while before heading back home, but some people leave a lasting impression, and Chandler was most definitely one of them.
When she returned for her graduation, we got to meet her significant other and some of her family. That was four years ago!
Fast forward to last week… and this is where the story gets REALLY special! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Around 40 lovely people travelled over from Texas, Kentucky and California to celebrate the wedding of Chandler Hamilton and Saxon!
They stayed in local Airbnbs, had their service at the beautiful Eastwell Manor, and then came straight to the Doghouse for food, speeches, laughter and a bloody good party!
Just let that sink in for a moment. People travelling thousands of miles, crossing an ocean, and choosing our little pub here in Kent to celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.
How lucky are we?!
Chandler became part of the Doghouse family during her time with us, and she always will be. To welcome her back, meet more of her wonderful family and friends, and be part of such a special occasion was an absolute privilege.
And every single guest? Bloody lovely people, the lot of them!
Chandler and Saxon, we wish you a lifetime of love, peace, happiness and adventures together. Thank you for letting us be part of your story. We’re going to miss you!
And this is exactly why we love what we do.
Because pubs are about so much more than alcohol. They’re places where friendships begin, relationships grow, families come together and memories are made. Sometimes, they’re the places that stay in your heart long after you’ve gone home.
You never quite know who is going to walk through your door, or where those friendships might lead.
Four years on, and look what happened!
Now, if that doesn’t put a smile on your face on a Thursday morning, we don’t know what will.
Congratulations again, Chandler and Saxon. Much love from all of us at the Doghouse.
Chandler Hamilton, Jacquelyn Hamilton, Tad Hamilton, Toni Dillon, Jonathon Dillon please tag the other lovely folks in the comments so we can make sure everyone gets a mention!
