Somewhat improbably, we met in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2021 through Facebook Messenger. Being in the same academic family at the university, there was no shortage of gossip from our peers at the time! Nevertheless, it was all in good fun and before we knew it, we were discussing marriage and how to build our lives together in Christ.


Ever since Brendan moved to Aberdeen for his PhD, we have been travelling the distance to visit one another, eager for this day to finally arrive. Now, with Bekka's Masters' degree finishing up in June, and our minds and hearts firmly committed to what comes next in our lives, there's no reason to delay for this joyous occasion!


Neither of us are very good at taking pictures, whether that's from living in the moment or just plain forgetfulness we're never quite sure - but to give you all a bit of insight, we did our best!
