Our Love Story
"Kindred spirits are like-minded and like-souled people with whom an instant connection of love and understanding is mutually experienced" In late 2019 Lee-Ann boarded a train in Middlesborough to meet in Bristol a stranger from the internet calling himself Dan. It was either going to end up as a Netflix true crime documentary or a romcom... The bond immediate, everything clicked, two soulmates who had found their way to each other. Covid did its best to prevent it, the distance made it challenging, but none of it mattered, the connection was too strong. In 2021 Lee-Ann moved to Bristol to start their lives together, and what an adventure it has been since then - laughs, holidays and love aplenty. July 2023 we bought our first house together in Weston-Super-Mare and in September that year we added Frankie to our little family. On 1st May 2025 Dan finally got down on one knee and despite Frankie trying to eat the ring and Lee-Ann only saying 'no' repeatedly popped the question that got us here.
