It all began back in February 2021, almost at the end of lockdown. While the world felt like it had slowed down, something special was just beginning. We met in Milton Keynes and quickly found joy in the little things—long walks through quiet parks, takeaway coffees, and getting to know each other one step at a time. James went off to university in London for three years, and although we weren’t living in the same city, we stayed close. We spent weekends exploring London together, grabbing food from market stalls, discovering hidden corners of the city, and building memories along the way. In 2023, we took the next big step and moved into our first flat together—a cosy apartment in Crouch End that’s truly become home. Not long after, we began looking after Muffin and Missy, who completely stole our hearts and made our little house a home. They’ve been a huge part of our lives ever since, and our little family wouldn’t be the same without them. For the past two years, we’ve been going to church together in Crouch End. Our faith has been a foundation that’s brought us closer, shaping our relationship and helping us grow both individually and as a couple. It’s been a journey full of grace, laughter, learning, and love. Now, after four and a half years together, we’re so excited to say… we’re getting married! We can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who have supported and loved us along the way.
