Bernadine Brocker Wieder met her husband Theo at the Notting Hill Carnival in 2011
Mrs Wieder skipped a rave/hip hop party she was meant to attend with a friend later that evening as her and her now-husband ended up “chatting all night”.She said the encounter was “written in the stars”, with Mr Wieder, 37, who is a director of Thwack Partners, an investment firm based in London and the chairman of Toad Hall Nursey Group, initially intending to leave earlier, but the smell of the Caribbean food lured him in and led to him meeting his future wife.
“I’ve stopped trying to change it anymore and have decided that’s going to be his name in my phone forever.”The couple have been to every in-person Carnival since, went on to marry on September 3 2016 and now live in Camden together with their two children – Blake, three, and Willow, one – who Mrs Wieder hopes to bring to the upcoming Carnival this weekend.“I gave birth to my second daughter in July, so this is the first year we can all go.
Mrs Wieder said that it is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes the Carnival so “wonderful”, but mentioned the food and music as being some of the highlights for her, as well as the fact that you “never know what to expect”.
