Our Love Story
It all started in an office in Bristol… very romantic. We hit it off straight away with our shared love of food and dry sense of humour. We soon formed a great friendship where we didn’t go a day without talking. We finally decided to put our professionalism aside and go on a date. Our first date was in Bath, where we went to an Italian restaurant, we both chose pizzas and it was love at first slice. After the meal we shared a kiss in the beautiful court yard of Bath Abbey. Meeting each other’s families cemented how right we are for each other. Both families welcomed each of us with open arms, most importantly our children 🤍 On a wet Friday afternoon in March 2024 we went in to town for a date. We left the first pub and there was a break in the clouds, the sun shone, and Thomas got down on one knee outside the Abbey where we shared our first kiss. We are so grateful to have found each other and cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with each and every one of you. Here’s to forever… and ever.
