At uni. First day! Sept '95. Halls of Residence Freshers party Grin . Kisses £ fumbles only for first few weeks.

Moved in properly - ie not as students in Jan 2001. Got engaged in Feb 2004 and married April 2005. Had babies in 2009 & 2011.

As loved up as ever, although small kids & careers are knackering and it's sometimes hard to have as much fun together.
