Our Story
How did you meet?
Her: We met in Nandos
Him: We met in Nandos
Who said “I love you” first?
Her: He said it less than two months after we started talking, I didn’t think he knew what he was getting himself into yet but he was serious and has never stopped saying it.
Him: I said it early on in our early dating days because I felt comfortable & secure.
What is one thing you love about each other?
Her: He is very honest
Him: Her loyalty
What’s your ideal date night?
Her: Dinner and a walk then tea
Him: Spending the day together doing something active and having a relaxed evening.
When did you know this was it?
Her: His consistency was unmatched. He was there even when I wasn’t fully there yet and, he is still in that place.
Him: She was always loyal, consistent, and easy to talk to & believed in me more than I did and sees potential and endless possibilities. Our bond and connection is like no other and feels unbreakable and that is how I knew this is it. Xx
