Our story begins like so many modern love stories do: online. Chris spotted Hayley on Instagram and sent her a friend request. Hayley, unsure at first, accepted. It wasn’t until later that Chris learned the reason behind her hesitation—since his profile was set to private, she’d screenshot his page and zoomed in on his display picture, just to make sure he didn’t look like a weirdo.

Plans to meet up were made, then canceled, multiple times, for one reason or another. It wasn’t until one evening, when Hayley was a little tipsy at a football game with her family, that she finally organised a date she couldn’t back out of. The next day, they met over ice cream—and that’s when their love story truly began.

A few weeks later, Chris, ever the romantic, asked Hayley to be his girlfriend with a Ring Pop—an edible diamond-shaped lollipop. Hayley said yes... but not right away. It took her a full 24 hours to be certain, but the answer was a resounding “of course.”

Despite Chris’s bad habit of leaving the toilet seat up, his tendency to smell like the work dogs, his late-night gaming, and his forgetfulness, and despite Hayley’s occasional (okay, frequent) slurping of her drinks (definitely the worse offender of the two), they’ve made it to their wedding day, almost exactly three years into their relationship.

This is a brief summary of our story, but the truth is, our story has only just begun. We’re so excited for this next chapter, and we can’t wait for all of you to witness it alongside us.
