I would say you all know our story, but in short, we met one warm Autumn night whilst celebrating a mutual friend’s birthday. Louise was ‘mildly’ drunk, Tarkan found her delightfully witty and charming, Tarkan asked her out, Louise said yes. After a month of dating Louise suggested that Tarkan goes to Canada with her for a year, to which he admitted, he had been considering.

Tarkan packed up his life and from that moment on they’ve been sharing and building a life together. Might as well of got married then really.

Marriage has never been something that we’ve needed to do, but it’s something we now realise we want to do. Life is too short and celebrating family and friends does not happen often enough.
