We met while swiping on a dating app during Covid in 2021. We chatted for around 3 months until we finally met in April 2021, 2 bottles of champagne, one dinner and some cocktails later...the date went pretty well. Fast forward 2 years later and James took Sophia for a surprise birthday weekend to Grantley Hall. It was the day before her birthday and James had planned a game of croquet and was planning to propose, unfortunately it was tanking it down, so he had to abort the plan! James asked Sophia to go for a walk in the rain, which she reluctantly agreed to (she was more interested in going to the spa). They walked together under an umbrella, until James found a bridge that he thought would be the perfect spot. He asked Sophia to hold the umbrella while he tied his shoe lace, Sophia stook admiring the beautiful Hall and eventually (when James' knee was already wet) turned around. Sophia was speechless and finally said 'Well are you going to put in on then' which James replied 'Are you going to say yes', which of course she did. We can't wait to say I do! ❤️
