Pub (i was a barmaid, he was a customer). We were friendly for ages before we went out together, so I knew he was a genuinely nice person, so it was easy to fall in love with him. And it has been easy to stay in love with him.

Tinder.

6 years ago.

Married with a baby on the way.

Knew I’d marry him the day we met, he’s never ever let me down, lied or made me question what we have.

I’m very lucky.
