As many of you already know, and many of you were there to witness, Jess and Patrick’s story began in 2017, during their final months of sixth form. Jess had her heart set on Patrick long before he realised, quietly hoping he might feel the same. When Patrick finally caught on and sent that first message, everything shifted. Their first real spark happened one memorable night at Thekla, the go-to spot for every sixth former. Under the lights and music of that familiar nightclub, what started as a surprise encounter became the beginning of something truly special. The start of a love that has only grown stronger ever since. After seven years filled with laughter and countless cherished memories shared with their family and friends, Patrick knew the time had come to ask the question that would change everything. For their anniversary, they escaped to the beautiful village of Mousehole in Cornwall. During a day trip to Sennen Cove, with the waves rolling in and the world feeling perfectly still, Patrick decided it was the perfect moment to propose. Now, as they plan the wedding of their dreams, a day they cannot wait to share with their closest family and friends, Jess and Patrick find themselves reflecting on all the beautiful years that have shaped their relationship and deepened their love. With hearts full of gratitude for the journey so far, they look ahead with excitement to all that the future holds for them, ready to build a lifetime together <3
