On the first day at London Met, Christina steeled herself to head to an International Freshers' meet-up, just hoping to make some friends. Hovering way too close to the food table and chatting at length with some guys, was a very cool and laidback Joseph, fresh from Gatwick. A text sent to some friends about risking it all for a mermaid, a lame technology vs paper joke, and an impromptu group karaoke session of Love On The Brain... their fates were sealed!
Meeting up to hang out at the library, Student Union and eventually Karaoke and Game Nights, Christina couldn't help to but to fall for the charming, witty, shiny baldy (even if she didn't think at first he was her type). And, during a lovely Winter Wonderland date where Joseph won Christina some Magic, the spark set ablaze a fire that made the two inseparable. On a night-tube ride in February, Joseph put on a brave face to the stern Mermaid and asked her to be his girlfriend. To which she accepted (much to his relief)!
One wintery morning... Christina overheard Joseph wrestling with Faith in the living room. Thinking about what did trouble Faith had caused, Christina got out of bed. "No! I got it under control, stay in bed!" Joseph said. Skeptical and confused, she left them alone to wrestle some more. A few moments later, cued by one of their favourite songs, Faith made her grand entrance, adorned by a little bow and a box... Christina was shocked, Joseph was smiling, and Faith as usual was asking for cuddles. And after struggling to get the box from Faith, Christina said "I do" to Joseph's proposal of a life spent together.
