“It was a Friday in July 2009 and the weather was pretty miserable in London. A flatmate invited me out with some of our friends. I had no motivation to go as it was late and horrible out, but with some pushing by another flatmate, I decided to go out and arrived at a club called The Verve in Covent Garden around 10pm. I walked in and saw my flatmate and her friends standing in a corner and I immediately made eye contact with a man who wouldn’t stop smiling. He had the most beautiful blue eyes. Who knew that this man, whom I spent the night talking about cars with (I’m sure Paul was testing me, even though I knew a lot about cars since my dad also loves them), would end up being my husband one day.
We ended up seeing each other every day that weekend from taking a canal boat ride to our official first date on the Sunday in Southbank. Paul asked me to marry him in the same spot as our first date. To the day, every anniversary, we still go back to that same spot and dine in the restaurant in the same seats where we had our first date 7 years ago.”
“If we had to tell you one thing about us….it would be that we are so thankful. Thankful that we’ve been brought together and that whatever obstacle that has been put in our way we have overcome them together. As many of you know all too well, it’s been hard and difficult at times and we’d do it all over again if it brought us to this very moment. After 6 years of being married, we are so excited to finally have a wedding and to celebrate it with you all.”
