Somerville love storiesA quick Google search of “Somerville College Weddings” will bring up beautiful photos and memories of Somervillians who have decided to tie the knot on College grounds.

We are always thrilled to hear stories from alumni who found love whilst studying towards their Oxford degrees. Some couples, like JJ and Silas or Kathryn and Shane, travel great distances to come back to the place where they first met.

We are compiling a ‘best of’ Somerville love stories in time for Valentine’s Day. We would be delighted to hear your stories about how you found your soulmate at Somerville College, whether you are a Somervillian, your partner is a Somervillian or, if you just happened to meet on our grounds.

If you found romance at Somerville, please send us any anecdotes or photos to communications@some.ox.ac.uk.
