Our Love Story
Bill and Jess first met back in 2013. Bill worked for Jess' uncle and over the coming years he slowly became part of Jess' family, joining in with all the family parties and holidays. In 2017, Jess took a gap year after high school and began working with her Uncle. This would be the year that Bill asks Jess to be his girlfriend... every day for a month until she said yes to him at a club in Thailand at 12.04am 25/08/17. Bill was persistent in asking Jess to be his girlfriend and he knew what he wanted. Bill loved Jess' beautiful smile and was most attracted to her fun loving personality. He often referred to her as 'the perfect Aussie chick'. Jess loved Bill's persistence, his sexy man hands and his contagious laugh but was most attracted to his work ethic. Over the next coming years Bill and Jess would embark on many adventures together. Jess' girlfriend status was upgraded to fiancé when Bill popped the question in Bali on 22/02/20. They have since built a house together where they look to create many more memories.
