We're so excited to celebrate & holiday with you

We met at Charles Martin Martial Arts Academy in Doncaster, Kieran was my Jiu-Jitsu instructor! I walked in all full of false bravado aware that I was likely to be the only 5"3 girl in a class full of male brutes! I had previously trained in martial arts in Australia but it took me forever to join a gym in Doncaster as I was convinced they would be full of 'gypos'. He currently has me in a choke as I write this asking "Do you want to roll now?", my response "No, I am trying to do our wedding website". At my first class I was partnered with a guy called Stevie but as the days went on I found Kieran volunteering himself more and more to roll with the '"newbie". The problem is we would never get very far as we would always end up in a fit of giggles. That was until I bust his nose, I felt awful so I messaged him that night and wrote "how's the nose?" and that is where our love story began!

We were on holiday in Cyprus, it was our second night. We had got all dressed up for dinner as you do and headed off to the Jersey Boys show. We had a few too many and were feeling rather tipsy. We decided to continue the party back at the pool bar and chose a seat on the edge of the pool to continue hydrating with alcohol. Kieran told me he needed a wee and went back to the room, I didn't question it even though we were sat a few meters from the toilet I was a few too many gins in by then. While he was away I started talking to a girl with a baby and it got me thinking so when he came back I started on this big rant about how much he meant to me and how I was excited for our future, completely unaware that Kieran was about to pop the question so I pretty much stole everything he was about to say without knowing it! The next thing I knew he was fighting with his pocket (his jeans were too tight) and I was like "what are you doing?", he then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was so shocked I started having a coughing fit so it took me a few seconds before I could actually say yes! We then decided to stay and have celebratory drinks and lets just say our heads were rather sore in the morning!
