In the midst of a world battling a relentless pandemic, their love story began on a digital platform in late 2020. Unable to meet in person due to restrictions, they turned to hours of heartfelt FaceTime conversations that blossomed into a deep and passionate connection. Two souls intertwined through virtual dates, sharing hopes, dreams, and laughter that echoed through the digital realm, until one fateful day, they finally met in person, igniting a love that would last a lifetime. In a serendipitous meeting in February 2021, after a two-hour drive spanning fifty five miles, two hearts intertwined in a passionate romance that had bloomed in just two short months. Their eagerly anticipated union was filled with laughter and mishaps, starting with Ollie's impromptu farm visit, and finishing with Liv's charcoal pizza mishap. Despite the comical chaos, their connection deepened, transcending the challenges of distance, and weaving a tale of love destined to endure the whims of fate. As the seasons changed, so did their lives. June 2021 marked the start of a shared journey as Ollie moved into Liv's studio flat with her feline companions, Bellatrix and Bartemius. As they embraced new career paths - Ollie as a skilled woodworker, and Liv as a nurturing nursery teacher - their lives intertwined seamlessly, forming the foundations of a harmonious little family. With time, their home grew too snug, prompting a move to a spacious one-bedroom maisonette in Slinfold. In the chaos of packing and unpacking, and amidst the joy of acquiring plush new furniture, Ollie harboured a secret plan. Amidst the holiday cheer and the stress of relocation, he found the perfect moment to propose. On a magical New Year's Eve in 2023, as the clock struck midnight, Ollie presented Liv with a meticulously crafted photo album capturing their journey thus far together. In a moment frozen in time, surrounded by memories and love, he asked her to embark on a new chapter as his partner for life. With a future brimming with promise and companionship, Ollie and Liv look forward to sharing this special moment with their cherished loved ones, marking the beginning of a new chapter with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Here's to a lifetime of happiness and unity for the couple with matching initials. (we hope you enjoy reading that as much as we did! we were kicking our feet laughing) Love from (future) Mr and Mrs Gardner xoxo
