We're getting married! ( About time, we know)

Once upon a time in 2010, Oleksandra landed in England from Ukraine, armed with big dreams, a new school timetable, and one very firm declaration: “I’m never going to have an English boyfriend.” Enter Matt Valentine. They met just before February half term, and Matt—clearly unaware of Oleksandra’s international dating policy—asked if they could be friends. She said yes. The universe chuckled. And by 12th March 2010, they were officially a couple. From school corridors to shared Spotify playlists, their love grew through teenage awkwardness, questionable fashion choices, and a lot of snacks. In 2019, they moved into their cozy home, now ruled by their two fluffy overlords, Mishka and Laila. And now, after 16 years of laughter, loyalty, and learning how to assemble IKEA furniture without breaking up, they’re getting married on 6th June 2026. Turns out, English boys aren’t so bad.
