Our Wedding

Once upon a time, in 2015, David and Jasmine met through mutual friends and their love of music. David and Jasmine would talk online and via phone, and David would come along to Jasmine’s gigs and support her music. They started meeting up for coffee and tea dates, going to Costa and other cute places for lunch. They spent time at each other’s homes getting to know each other, and they were both very fond of one another. At this time in their lives, David and Jasmine were both quite shy and although they liked each other a lot, nothing progressed further. They went their separate ways but still always had each other on social media and would exchange the odd kind comment and message. Years went by and the relationships they were both in ended. When Jasmine’s ended in 2022, David and Jasmine started messaging again and they discussed meeting to catch up over coffee. They sent voice notes to each other everyday on WhatsApp, starting at a few minutes per voice note to a podcast length voice note. David and Jasmine unexpectedly bumped into each other one night at a friend’s show (like it was meant to be) and at the end of the night after a few wines, when Jasmine said goodbye to David, she proudly announced to him in front of his friends&nbsp;‘One day we will go to Disney together and get married!’&nbsp;with a kiss on the cheek. On a rainy Sunday on the 15th of May 2022, David came to pick Jasmine up and they went for coffee and pizza, and to spend time together at David’s beautiful flat in Westbourne. They talked for hours, listened to music, laughed, shed a few tears over one of Jasmine’s favourite Disney films they watched together – ‘Soul’ and they even witnessed an amazing thunder and lightning storm. Jasmine being a spiritual person who also enjoys numerology, noticed that David’s flat was number 8, which is her life path number. The table they sat at for lunch when they had pizza was table 17, David’s life path number is 1 and his favourite number is 7, also 1+7 = 8 so the signs from the universe were there. On that date, they ended up spending around 15 hours straight together, talking and getting to know each other more like they did back in 2015/16 and they realised how similar they were as people. They were on the same wavelength and totally meant to be. From then on, they couldn’t wait to see each other again and spend more time together, and on the 28th of May 2022, David asked Jasmine to be his girlfriend. On their one year anniversary, in the most beautiful setting in Cornwall, David asked Jasmine to marry him! In 2024, they bought their first home together (their dream fairytale thatched cottage) and they gave birth to their first (human) baby – Teddy Andrew James Seymour. They continue to laugh together everyday, support each other, and remain the best of friends and two halves of the same soul…’twin flames’ A twin flame involves&nbsp;two people who share the same soul. Once these twin flames meet, this results in an intense, magnetic attraction and connection.
