Nearly four years ago, Ella worked up the courage to shoot her shot with the most handsome bachelor she had ever seen on Bumble. After matching, Thomas didn’t waste any time and invited Ella on their very first date. From the moment plans were set, Ella knew this felt different, so much so that she was extra nervous. She didn’t even want Thomas to pick her up from her parents’ house in case she jinxed it! Instead, she gave him her best friend’s address, where she spent the afternoon having girl time, pre-drinks, and hyping herself up not to chicken out. Before heading out, Ella told her friends, “Be ready for a group call around 10pm, I’ll need to debrief!” But 10pm came and went. Then 11. Then midnight. The only thing that stopped her friends from calling in a welfare check was seeing Ella’s live location still moving from pub to pub around Fremantle. When she finally returned to collect her car (and after apologising for making them worry), Ella announced with complete certainty: “Ladies, I met my husband last night.” And the rest, as they say, is history.
