After swiping right on the online app Bumble, our first date was Winter Wonderland in London. Though it took our second trip for Gareth to finally win the toy in our picture.

A sunny afternoon in Windsor followed and Gareth asked for us to be an official couple on 14th Jan 2018. (Nothing to do with his favourite football player, Thierry Henry, wearing the number 14 shirt)

After some lovely holidays including La Rochelle and Lake Como, Catherine moved into Gareth's bachelor pad before we promptly found a house to fit Catherine's wardrobe just 3 months later.

Still to this day Gareth doesn't know how Catherine did it, but in March 2020 along came Gracie, our third musketeer. Changing Gareth's opinion on dogs forever.

A year of lockdown and in each other's company 24x7, Gareth finally saw sense and popped the question on the 24th April 2021 with an Italian themed picnic in The New Forest.
