We met at a wedding in 2016 - I was a bridesmaid and Dave was an usher. It wasn’t until February 2021 though, in the middle of a global pandemic, that Dave thought the timing was finally right to ask me out on a date. Everywhere was closed so we had a socially distanced walk around the park together. After many more outdoor walking dates and eventually some indoor dates once BoJo allowed, we decided to move in together and Dave moved up from Chichester to Gateshead in March 2022. We got engaged in July 2022 on yet another walk and we started planning a wedding for February 2023. Fate intervened and in April 2023 we welcomed our beautiful daughter Emmeline. We are so delighted she can be part of our special day when we finally take our most important walk yet down the aisle!
