Our Love Story
It was a dark and stormy night... just kidding.
Pamela and Zayne met on Thursday, the 22nd of December 2016. Pamela had decided to go out to celebrate receiving her first bonus whilst Zayne was peer pressured by some friends.
Pamela was swept away by Zayne's overalls, and well Zayne... he liked that Pamela was feisty.
They saw each other quite a few times in the weeks to come and before they knew it, weeks became months, and months became years. On their 6th year anniversary, the 04th of February 2023 Zayne got down on one knee in their soon to be container home, and he asked Pamela if she would make him the happiest man by marrying him… Pamela said of course! (Pamela being Pamela had actually answered him before he even asked her the question and had to re-answer him after he had popped the question).
⚓ SAIL THROUGH SOME FUN FACTS ⚓
1. The couples first kiss was the night they met, however, Pamela thought their first kiss was the night after they had first met.
2. Their first official date was the Wednesday after they met (The 28th of December 2016). Zayne cooked chicken ala king for Pamela.
3. Zayne had asked Pamela if they "were an item" on the 09th of January 2017, but Pamela only confirmed this on the 04th of February 2017 by asking Zayne if he still wanted to be the "B-word"... Boyfriend!
4. The couples first holiday was five years into their relationship in March 2022.
5. Zayne is 3 years older than Pamela.
6. On the evening that Team Payne met, Pamela had been eyeing Zayne out, and without knowing it Zayne had been doing the same. The two later on found out that they had both had the same interest from the get-go.
